World-sensation: a Hungarian artist won this year’s Festival of Lights – photos, video

This is one of the most spectacular light festivals in the world, and it was organised in Berlin where a Hungarian artist miraculously won the first prize.

The winner, Ádám Kirsch, aka Fat Heat, has been doing street art for more than two decades, and thus, he is internationally one of the most well-known Hungarians in this branch of art, Qubit reported.

The theme of the 15th Festival of Lights at which he could win was the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. Artists of 14 countries took part in the contest, and

their images were projected onto the facade of different buildings in Berlin for 10 days.
