In the long Icelandic night of the island
of Videy, a light installation celebrates
peace. Yoko Ono wanted to remember
once again the pacifism of John Lennon,
killed on December 8, 1980.
The work
consists of a circular stone platform that
is engraved in twenty four languages
with words from Imagine. A series of
columns of light generated by a system
of projectors and mirrors (created using
the Light Up system from iGuzzini
designed by J. M. Wilmotte) makes it
possible to see the Imagine Peace Tower
from as far away as Reykjavik.
