Picture perfect GLOW
During GLOW light festival, there are several works of art to admire, which all deserve a place in your photo gallery. You will find the illuminated artworks in the city center, by the central station, and at the TU/e area. No matter where your route begins, these five highlights will help you create the most beautiful images!
Windows @Catharinakerk
Good news for true GLOW fans: the Catharinakerk is back on the route! As soon as darkness falls, this 73-meter-high icon transforms into a colorful spectacle. Those with sharp memories may recall Daniel Margraf’s 2017 work, in which stories from the Second World War came to life on the church façade. So, set up your tripod—this light artwork is a must-capture!
Firefly Field @Anne Frankplantsoen
Nature photographers will feel right at home with Firefly Field: for GLOW, Studio Toer created a swarm of brightly glowing fireflies, blending nature and technology. When you encounter this light artwork, you won’t be able to look away from the shimmering night creatures at Anne Frankplantsoen.

Sunflowers for Van Gogh @Anne Frankplantsoen
This GLOW favorite is back! Keep your camera close to capture a sunflower field like you’ve never seen before. Inspired by Van Gogh’s famous painting, this piece invites you to step away from everyday reality for a moment. But stay sharp, so you don’t miss that perfect shot!
Lempke @De Lichttoren
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned photographer, GLOW is a paradise for (amateur) photography. Each light artwork brings a new challenge. Take Lempke at the Lichttoren, for example. Try viewing it from different angles—up close, low to the ground, or from a distance. You’ll be surprised by the unique images each perspective creates!
Via³ @EDGE
You might see (and hear) it from a distance: the EDGE building is coming to life. Still have some space left on your SD card? This projection is begging for a stunning shot! With the spectacular light artwork Via³, the collective Ruestungsschmie.de presents a vision of Eindhoven’s future. As the city’s skyline continues to evolve, the building façade moves with the flow of the Dommel River, creating a dynamic connection between city and nature.
