I MISS YOU

Leeds, LS9 8PB

30 October to 31 December 2020
4:30pm to 10pm

This text artwork, displayed in the centre of the River Aire at Leeds Dock, perfectly sums up the experience of 2020. I MISS YOU, created in Romania by Asociatia Daisler, will send a simple message to the public which can be interpreted in so many ways; missing friends and family, culture, art and festivals, normality and our lives as they once were.

Here in Leeds City Centre we have missed our colleagues, shopping and socialising, and even after emerging out of lockdown there is plenty that we still miss, including Light Night Leeds in its full glory!

I MISS YOU is part of a set of text artworks with the same message in several different languages. These will be displayed in cities across Europe who are unable to deliver their light festivals and other public events this year.

With thanks to ILO, International Light Festivals Association.

Until 31st December

A last chance to see Spirit Owl, the vibrant LED artwork by Frederic Post depicting the owl of Leeds as a talisman charged with positive intentions, protecting those who gaze upon it. Full of magic and shamanic practices in the urban environment, Spirit Owl connects Leeds residents with nature and its spirits. Launched on Light Night 2019, Spirit Owl has been on display on the calls for the past 12 months.

Funded by Waterfront Enhancement Fund: aiming to help open up, celebrate and animate the Leeds city centre waterfront.
