The fourth edition of SOFIA LIGHTS offered an entirely new perspective on the concept of magical reality, moving the experience for the first time into the daylight hours. Holding the festival in Vrana Park-Museum remained faithful to its original mission from 2021 – to offer the weary and stressed urban person the opportunity to intentionally slow down, enjoy the world around them, immerse themselves in nature, and give space to their consciousness.

The guests of this edition were the artists from the world-renowned French art studio Aérosculpture with the monumental installation “Steel Grass.” Shown for the first time outside France on such a huge scale, it covered a large part of the park’s territory. The installation, consisting of hundreds of “stalks” as tall as a seven-story building, was both minimalist and imposing. It interacted with the wind and natural sunlight, turning the daytime walk in the park into a unique visual and emotional experience, filled with peace and inspiration.
