Running from November 13-15, there’s 26 installations across Durham City and in Shildon.
Tickets for the central ticketed zone are all gone, but more than half the installations are outside of the ticketed zone.
It was announced earlier this year that this Lumiere will be the last after the biennial festival started in 2009.
Organisers Artichoke have said to sustain a festival of this scale and ambition requires investment and commitment at a level that is increasingly difficult to secure, which you can read more about here.
Before the lights go out, here’s some of this year’s artworks.
9. The Garden of Shadows, Jony Easterby, The College, South Bailey and Prebends Bridge East
Featuring animated landscapes sourced from grassland and forest, hedgerows and giant hogweed, bonsai trees given the gift of scale, woodland sprites and flying creatures. The audience is invited to follow a trail of eight magical installations that fill The College and the South Bailey with a series of ethereal electronic encounters with the natural world. | Iconic Media
10. Lampounette, TILT, Freeman's Place Riverbank
An oversized version of a world-famous piece of home / office design gives the humble desk lamp the opportunity to conquer new spaces and illuminate the public realm with its strong coloured light. Lampounette transforms a dark area of Durham into a new warm living room and is one of the permanent Lumiere displays. | Sunderland Echo
11. Point of (No) Return, Anastasia Isachsen, Millennium Place
Immerse yourself in an evocative interactive experience that responds to your presence and movement. As you step into the light around this circular installation, luminous ice begins to melt into flowing water. Step back, and the ice refreezes. Move and watch as the water’s flow spirals out of control, turning into a dark storm – approaching the point of no return. | Iconic Media
