From November 28 2019 to January 19 2020, twenty installations from a variety of international artists were erected as part of the Amsterdam Light Festival. Despite the exhibition’s transient nature, we provide you an opportunity to view it in hindsight and (re)discover the installations. Here are some highlights of Amsterdam light festival eighth edition “DISRUPT!”.
