In The Far Eastern City of Vladivostok, Winters Are Long and Harsh.
When creative collective “Concrete Jungle” created their latest project, Ice and Light, they wanted to explore the hidden benefits of the city’s chilly (холодный) climate. But they also wanted to coax (уговорить) residents back into the city’s outdoor spaces — particularly Vladivostok’s neglected (забытый) Mine Park.
Using drills and chainsaws (цепная пила), they planted a circle of 18 LED lights 30 centimetres into the ice covering one of Mine Park’s lakes.
As night fell, the lights began to flicker (мерцать) and flash from below the surface, lighting up natural patterns hidden in the ice above. This was accompanied by music from local artist NKRDBL.
