21.–22. 3. 2025
Pilsen Festival of Light
and art in public space
The most extensive festival of light and art in public space to date
BLIK BLIK carries the theme of STREAMS this year. These are literally represented by water and Pilsen rivers, but in a figurative sense they refer to our ancestors: Ladislav Sutnar, Antonín Dvořák, Bedřich Smetana and other greats.
With regard to the chosen theme, the route of the festival will largely run along the Pilsen rivers Mže and Radbuza, and one place in the Pilsen center will also be transformed into an illusory water surface.
The inspiration for the School of Videomapping educational program will be the work of the brilliant Pilsen creative Ladislav Sutnar, and the large interactive installation at DEPO2015 will be accompanied by the tones of inspired classics of Czech classical music.
The festival takes place on 22 and 23 March 2024 from 19:00 to 23:59. Visitors can enjoy a total of 12 exterior installations free of charge, 2 paid interior installations at DEPO2015 and a unique exhibition of 7 works by Japanese artist Yasuhiro Chida.
The route of the festival this year will lead from the embankment on Mže na Roudné to DEPO2015 or vice versa according to the wishes of the visitors. The revival will be the festival zone in OC Olympia, which celebrates 20 years and where will be 3 installations including video mapping. A shuttle service will be provided to this zone.
New this year are the echoes of the BLIK BLIK festival, which will take place on April 5–7 in the unusual environment of the Caolinum Center mines in Nevřeň. Here, visitors can look forward to the first underground light festival!
