 Based on the traditional gesture of lighting a candle as an act of peace, a 14m long interactive light installation was developed for Peter Noever. 
Utilising low voltage electricity, the entire structure is electrified, allowing a light bulb placed within the structure to light up.
After being part of Peter Noevers exhibition PEACE NOW! in the context of the European Capital of Culture Bad Ischl, Salzkammergut 2024, the installation moved to the famous Hofkirche in Innsbruck, where it was installed next to the cenotaph of Emperor Maximilian I and the grave of Andreas Hofer. peace light was the first contemporary art installation ever to be installed in the Hofkirche.
