Situated in Edinburgh, The Fruitmarket Gallery is an acclaimed international art space showing a programme of exciting, thought-provoking exhibitions of Scottish, British and international contemporary art.

Inspired by the aurora borealis, this project was a collaboration between Peter Fink (Art2Architecture) and dpa. The completed artwork consists of a 'roof fin' triangle which throws gently changing lightwashes across the exterior of the gallery and features light detailing on the east and west roof. The final addition of the light pavement illuminates all passers by with an undulating uplight of colour.

All elements of the project have been designed with careful consideration of the design of Richard Murphy's award-winning building and the background setting of Edinburgh's Old Town.

The artwork can be observed every night from dusk till dawn.
