Llum Festival, one of my favorite festivals of Barcelona, happened exactly one month before the city went into lockdown. So while editing these pictures I took in one of the nights I was out with the camera I realized it was the last major art festival hosted by this vibrant city from a time we don’t know when and how will return.

I’ve been going every year since I moved, and it never fails to amaze and inspire me. I hope the manipulated, colored, transformed and rearranged lights of some art installations shown during those three dark, cold nights of February may do the same for you, covered in these 14 photos.
