What is the collective noun for a group of fireflies? A swarm seems too beastly. A lantern? A twinkle? A shimmer of fireflies?
Firefly Field is a mesmerizing light installation of numerous flying light points that simulate the movements of these nocturnal Lampyridae. Glowing. Darting. Hovering above the ground. The ever-changing bioluminescence of each one is reflected in the grassy slope. On mass, they create a dynamic light scene that triggers visitors’ curiosity and awe.
With Firefly Field, we share our fascination and imagination for the aesthetics and movement of these tiny winged creatures and their interest in the way dynamic moving light can express a mood. This minimalist arrangement consists of specially developed LED light points that seem to hover in mid-air. Their unique dynamic composition gives each firefly its unpredictable and natural movement.
The Blackpool Cenotaph was unveiled on 10 November 1923, to mark the centenary of the memorial, there will be 100 fireflies either side of the cenotaph.
