From 50 to 100 registrations. According to the organizers, the interest in this year's All Lights at Uppsala is at an all-time high. But only twelve works have been selected and are being installed in various locations around Uppsala.


Compared to last year, this year's light installation takes up more space, according to Jonas Ekbacke, Head of Public Events at Destination Uppsala and project manager.

"We're trying to make them more visible, take up more space and light up more of our inner city," says Jonas Ekbacke.

One of the light installations is Portalen, a light experience where you travel to different worlds, explains artist Anna Lundberg.

"It feels great to be involved in All Light in Uppsala," she says.
