A pyramid-shaped ephemeral public light art installation presenting 44 backlit co-created artworks in ocean plastic and seaweed.

OPUS UNITUM is a co-created light art installation in the shape of a pyramid, and covered by co-created artworks performed in ocean plastic and seaweed, backlit by light-animated fire. The artwork was created for and by the Festival of Endless Gratitude in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, September 2020.

The pyramid-shaped ephemeral public light art installation OPUS UNITUM, covered in individual artworks creatively crafted by 44 dedicated co-creators. Each individual artwork features two components – actual ocean plastic (recovered from the Copenhagen harbour by GreenKayak volunteers) and actual dried seaweed, joining the old nature and the “new nature” of our oceans in a symbolic unity. These were all created during the fittingly named Festival of Endless Gratitude, which took place in a repurposed church in the diverse Copenhagen-neighborhood of Nørrebro, September 10-13 2020.
