Lightscape - One World

One World

Created by Christopher Wren
Cherry Esplanade West

Under the allée of Liberty Oaks that was planted in remembrance of the events of 9/11, One World evokes illuminated trails of light that coil beneath living trees, creating a synthesis of the seen and the remembered. Its Chicago-based creator, Christopher Wren, designs light experiences for dance, theater, concerts, and corporate productions in addition to his work with interactive light art installations.

Rows of trees stand illuminated in the night. The row to the left is all lighted by red lights, the one to the right is blue, and the one to the far right is green. — One World by Christopher Wren. Photo by Liz Ligon.
