SWIMMING IN LIGHT


1.
An illuminating connection over Inderhavn Canal which can be crossed by swimming, walking and cycling. The moving structure illuminates Inderhavn Canal and extends the day in Copenhagen.

2.
It creates a spectacle in the heart of Copenhagen, focusing local and tourist attention to the ephemeral caustic illumination effects created by the glazed moving structure and two telescopic 500m3 swimming pools. It directs tourist attention away from the famed experiemental Noma Restaurant which now has the best view of the canal and Swimming in Light.

3.
It brings the beloved activity of experiencing Copenhagen from within its clean waters above the water and put on show for all of Copenhagen.

4.
It reimagines Jorn Utzon's Peblingesøen Swimming Pool on existing concrete piers of Inderhavn Bridge that was meant to be discrete on the water front. However, two concrete piers of this bridge have been left in Copenhagen since construction stopped in 2011.

5.
Swimming In Light transforms the central canal in Copenhagen into a dynamic tension between the sensual and technical in order to capture the viewers attention. This could be on a boat crossing through the bridge, swimming above the canal or viewing from the waterfront.
