Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva Collaborates with Geneva Lux 2018

This historical luxury Hotel partners with Geneva Lux for the third year, bringing a spectacular light display to the city.

For the third consecutive year, Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues, Geneva has collaborated with Geneva Lux Festival, celebrating ‘works of light’ created by artists from all over the world.

From 29 November 2018 to 13 January 2019, Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues, Geneva hosts its very own display of lights as part of a collection of illuminated works of art filtered through the city. Bringing a mythical and enchanting feel to the city of Geneva, the Hotel will exhibit Swiss collective ENCOR, who have designed ‘Typographical Games for Poetry Collection’, a display based on three distinct artistic disciplines; Architecture, Poetry and Typography.

Built in 1834, the Hotel’s classical architecture serves as the base of an eight-minute visual display, combining the characteristics of its classical façade with contemporary light visuals. The display features the texts of ten international poems, written in different alphabets and languages, to highlight the vibrant spirit and diversity of the city. The collection of evocative poems is illustrated through unique typography, paying tribute to the tradition of Swiss design, emphasizing their unique expertise in the field, and the beauty of fonts created by reputable calligraphers of the past and present.

The contrasting nature of the finite architectural space on which the display comes to life, and the vast lyrical universe in which the poems were created, forms a unique and contemporary concept, anchored by the tradition of Swiss graphic design.
