Location: The Riga Canal near the Bastion Hill footbridge

A colourful parade of fish in the Riga canal – this will become a reality during the Festival of Light because during this time the Warm Lands Delegation arrives in the city and will dwell in the canal near Bastion Hill.

For city-dwellers, this is a rare chance to get to know the exotic warm water inhabitants that have taken it upon themselves to be transformed into light objects.

The twinkling school of fish arranged in the waters of the Riga canal will create a sense of united progression and mutual communication. Each fish will be an independent, internally lit object while at the same time a component of the combined artistic composition.

Approximately fifty lit fish will be best viewed from the Bastion Hill pedestrian bridge or from either side of the canal.
