THE LIGHT
synopsis
It was Denmark's largest work of art when artist Elle-Mie Ejdrup created a 532 km long line of laser light along the war bunkers on the Danish west coast on May 4, 1995. The initiative also triggered a historic shit storm. Former resistance fighters, top politicians and the press fought fiercely to stop the event from happening. After receiving death threats and being sent out into the cold for two decades, the team behind the work is now unfolding the story.
