OGE GROUP
ISRAELMake a wish before you blow the fluffy dandelion seeds into the air - everyone knows this old game. Light a Wish visualises the moment the seeds disperse in the air, waiting to take your wish with them into the world. With this work, the Israeli architects of OGE Group show our 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.

About OGE Group
Israeli artist Merav Eitan (1974) and German artist Gaston Zahr (1975) are trained architects. While Eitan studied at the art academy in Jerusalem, Zahr studied at the Brandenburg University of Technology in Cottbus. In 2007 they founded their design studio OGE Group in Haifa and became the artistic directors of the Jerusalem Light Festival. OGE Group has designed several light artworks, which all aim to evoke an emotion from the viewer in a playful way. Sometimes the artworks do that through an interaction of sorts and other times by recalling memories and experiences.
