Just a few weeks ago, Christopher Bauder’s installation VEKTOR at Kraftwerk Berlin came to an end. Now the Berlin summer is in the starting blocks and we are pleased to invite you to the opening of Bauder’s latest audiovisual light installation FLOW in the outdoor area of his permanent exhibition space DARK MATTER in Berlin Lichtenberg.
SOMMERLIGHTS 2024 can be experienced in two different ways: exhibition/FLOW and live performance/DJ set – details on the latter follow further below.
FLOW (31 May to 29 September)
Internationally renowned for his kinetic light installations, Christopher Bauder has teamed up with Dutch musician Chris Kuijten for his seasonal Berlin highlight FLOW: the large-scale light show will be on display in the outdoor area of DARK MATTER from 31 May to 29 September, as part of SOMMERLIGHTS 2024.
Whether with friends, on a date with a favourite person or with the whole family: FLOW as an installation invites people of all ages to get into the flow of Summer while sipping ice- cold drinks and/or feasting on tasty snacks under a sky of lights and sound.
The DARK MATTER outdoor area is open Wednesday – Sunday from 20:00, the installation then starts after sunset at around 21:30. From this point, FLOW runs continuously until midnight in a 40-minute loop – guests can join in at any time and stay as long as they like.
Our tip: stay for at least 2 runs of the installation, relax and experience the immersive soundtrack from different positions.
Tickets are now available online for €10, children up to the age of 6 do not pay admission (tickets at the box office: €12).
For guests who would like to see the permanent exhibition DARK MATTER in addition to FLOW, the COMBO – Ticket starting at 26€ is the best choice.
LIVE @ SOMMERLIGHTS 2024
After SOMMERLIGHTS 2023 already attracted tons of Berliners and Berlin visitors to the DARK MATTER outdoor area, this year’s event series will once again feature a colourful mix of DJ sets and live events: In addition to Max Cooper (8.June) and KiNK (30.August), who were already at the controls at SOMMERLIGHTS last year, more artists will be added over the course of the season – interested parties can keep up to date with all the dates via Instagram and the DARK MATTER homepage, as well as the newsletter.
Tickets for the live events are limited and can be purchased online now. It pays to be quick, because the first contingent of each LIVE event is offered at a discounted price.
