Campus as a Stage exhibitions: Light and Shadows – Art Lamps

Light and Shadows is a light installation designed by students, staff, and alumni of the University of Oulu. The exhibition opens to the public in November–December in the university’s F-corridor as part of the European Capital of Culture program.

The installation consists of individually designed cube-shaped lamps, laser-cut from interior plywood. Each piece reflects the creativity of its maker, and together they form an atmospheric ensemble in the darkened corridor. The decorative patterns cut into the lamp surfaces project intricate plays of light and shadow onto the surrounding walls – creating a captivating artistic experience.

Step into the world of light and shadows!

This exhibition is part of the University of Oulu’s Campus as a Stage 2026 culture programme. In 2026, the University of Oulu will organize a year-long Campus as a Stage event series, which aims to showcase the broad cultural expertise of our university community and bring culture to everyday life on our campuses and to a wider audience. The series includes cultural lunches, cultural lectures, After Work events, various exhibitions and community art works, and art tours of the university's art collections.
