A post shared by Linn Alexandersen (@linnalexandersen) on

Fjord Oslo first happened in 2019, and its goal was to deliver a collective art experience. The event was free for everyone, held outdoors, and turned out to be a big success. It comes back this year for three days in November. From November 6th to 8th, the most beautiful light installations will be exhibited at Oslo’s waterfront.

The artists are using various techniques like projection mapping and color movement. The capital of Norway provides the perfect backdrop for light art. Both the traditional buildings and new spaces are made a part of the festival in the most beautiful way.

1-3 November, 2⃣0⃣1⃣9⃣ Seven #installations lit up Oslo's harbour promenade for the inaugural #FjordOslo light #festival, each showing the effect that light can have on our emotions. "Fjord Oslo was founded with a wish to create a positive, inclusive, social and open cultural event for everyone in the city of Oslo," Isachsen explained. Other stand-out projects from the festival include Constellations, in which light is projected onto otherwise invisible water particles to take visitors on a journey through the universe, as well as Private Moon, a travelling installation that tells the love story between a man and the moon. #privatemoon #leonidtishkov #oslofest #fjordoslofestivaloflight #privatemoonstudio #visitnorway #visitoslo #visitoslo2019 #oslove

“From projections onto landmark buildings to intimate installations, interactive light sculptures and immersive video work—the program of the second edition is dedicated to art that invites conversation about human impact on the future of our world,” the festival’s website reads.

]]> Oslo is one of the most beautiful Scandinavian capitals, but a stay in this city doesn’t come cheap. Here’s where you should look if you’re trying to find affordable accommodation in the capital of Norway.

Hostels

Cheap hostels in Oslo are extremely difficult to find. You’ll have to cash out at least $30-$40 per night for a bed in a dorm room, which is twice as expensive than the majority of other European cities.

Airbnb

If you’re hoping to find a cheaper option on Airbnb, you’re up for a disappointment. Private rooms usually start at around $30, plus service and cleaning fees, and you’ll have to spend much more if you want a private apartment.

Free Stay

If you can’t imagine yourself spending this much money on a trip, considering finding a free stay on Couchsurfing. Workaway is also an option if you want to stick around in Olso for a month or two, and don’t mind exchanging work for accommodation.

1-3 November, 2⃣0⃣1⃣9⃣ Seven #installations lit up Oslo's harbour promenade for the inaugural #FjordOslo light #festival, each showing the effect that light can have on our emotions. "Fjord Oslo was founded with a wish to create a positive, inclusive, social and open cultural event for everyone in the city of Oslo," Isachsen explained. Other stand-out projects from the festival include Constellations, in which light is projected onto otherwise invisible water particles to take visitors on a journey through the universe, as well as Private Moon, a travelling installation that tells the love story between a man and the moon. #privatemoon #leonidtishkov #oslofest #fjordoslofestivaloflight #privatemoonstudio #visitnorway #visitoslo #visitoslo2019 #oslove

“From projections onto landmark buildings to intimate installations, interactive light sculptures and immersive video work—the program of the second edition is dedicated to art that invites conversation about human impact on the future of our world,” the festival’s website reads.

]]> Oslo is one of the most beautiful Scandinavian capitals, but a stay in this city doesn’t come cheap. Here’s where you should look if you’re trying to find affordable accommodation in the capital of Norway.

Hostels

Cheap hostels in Oslo are extremely difficult to find. You’ll have to cash out at least $30-$40 per night for a bed in a dorm room, which is twice as expensive than the majority of other European cities.

Airbnb

If you’re hoping to find a cheaper option on Airbnb, you’re up for a disappointment. Private rooms usually start at around $30, plus service and cleaning fees, and you’ll have to spend much more if you want a private apartment.

Free Stay

If you can’t imagine yourself spending this much money on a trip, considering finding a free stay on Couchsurfing. Workaway is also an option if you want to stick around in Olso for a month or two, and don’t mind exchanging work for accommodation.
