Underdog Finnish light artist Kari Kola attempts the impossible: creating the world's largest light installation on a mountain in Ireland's rugged Connemara region.
Commissioned by the city of Galway for the European Capital of Culture 2020 program, Kari pushes the boundaries of the possible, aiming for something truly "big." Inspired by Oscar Wilde's description of the region, he sets out to illuminate the entire mountain, transforming it into a breathtaking spectacle.
Kari's journey is not just about the art; it's a testament to overcoming personal challenges. Throughout his life, his hyperactive nature and mathematical brilliance often led to misunderstandings. Yet, Kari's unwavering belief in the impossible fuels his determination to bring his vision to life. This documentary delves into the heart of this underdog artist, showcasing his struggle, his unique perspective, and his ultimate triumph in creating a luminous masterpiece.- Stage
