Light a Wish
Make a wish before you blow the fluff from a dandelion into the air – everyone knows this game. OGE Group’s Light a Wish visualises the moment the seeds disperse in the air, taking your wish with them into the world.
The enlarged, fuzzy seeds – of which there are 20 in total and measure 2 metres in height – dangle carefully in the air and glow in a way that makes it look as though they are breathing. With Light a Wish the artists visualise the good intentions that we quietly release and (hopefully) encounter again in the future. In this way the illuminated dandelion puffballs are carriers of our deepest desires and dreams.
In the old days, blowing dandelion seeds into the air was also done as a superstitious act: the number of seeds that remained signified the number of years you had to wait to get married, how many children you would have with your loved one, or how many years you still had to live. But before we can take a look in the future, we have to wait a little longer for spring.
