Picture perfect GLOW

GLOW light festival is full of artworks that deserve a spot in your camera roll. You’ll find them across the city centre, around Eindhoven Centraal station, and on the TU/e campus. Wherever your route starts, these five highlights are guaranteed to give you stunning shots!

Echoes of Harmony @Muziekgebouw

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned photographer, GLOW is a paradisebehind the lens. Every light artwork brings a new challenge. Take Echoes of Harmony at Muziekgebouw, where street art, light art and music come together. Once night falls, the mural seems to come alive. Try shooting it from different perspectives – up close, low to the ground, or from a distance. Each one will surprise you!

Fable light @Catharinakerk

Good news for true GLOW fans: Catharinakerk is back on the route! As soon as darkness falls, this 73-meter-high icon transforms into a colorful spectacle. This year, you’ll see Fable light by Hugo Vrijdag and around 16,000 children. Stories, imaginativeworlds, and spiral lanterns come to life on the facade of the church. So, set up your tripod – this light artwork is a must-capture!

Wij zijn Eindhoven @PSV Parking O-Oost

What makes someone a true Eindhovener? Artist Daan van der Linden set out to find the answer and painted oil portraits of remarkable locals. He enlarged the portraits to giant proportions and lit them from within, so every brushstroke stands out. At GLOW, you’re usually photographing buildings and objects, but this time your lens is on the paint itself. Keep your camera ready and discover what all these faces have in common.

Bubbelbad @Lodewijk Napoleonplein

The light artwork Bubbelbad is a playground for photographers. Shimmering air bubbles float across the square, creating a playful light show. For a moment, you feel like you’re deep underwater. Keep staring if you like, but don’t forget to snap a photo in between.

Triple Point @Hooghuis

You might already spot it from the distance: the Hooghuis springs to life. Stillgot room on your memory card? You’ll want it for this one! With this spectacular light artwork, artist Antoine Goldschmidt pushes the boundaries of physics. Through a giant curtain of mist, the angular Hooghuis seems to bend and warp with the flow of water and light.
