The annual i Light Singapore is back again from 5 June 2026 to 28 June 2026. This year’s theme for the light festival is Movement, inviting visitors to move through 14 light art installations.
We got to explore most of these artworks at Marina Bay and Raffles Place ahead of the official opening on 5 June 2026, and found some pleasant surprises. If you’re wondering whether you should visit i Light Singapore 2026, we’ve got you covered.
Take a look at what we believe are the best photo spots and interactive installations at this year’s event, and decide for yourself if it’s worth heading down yourself.
Market Cycles
For context, we started our night walk at the Bayfront Event Space, located right outside the entrance to The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Heading in the direction of the Red Dot Design Museum, one of the first installations we came across was Market Cycles by Singaporeans Tan Mei Yee and Ng Choon Wee.
This is a simple light art installation, made up of stacks of plastic crates you would see daily at wet markets. Yet, due to the way it is positioned, it provides many different angles for photos. Whether you prefer to be seated or standing, among the crates or in front of them, be creative and take your best shot!
Let’s Fish the Sun!
Near to Market Cycles, at the Lower Boardwalk area, is probably one of the most interesting installations at i Light Singapore 2026. Let’s Fish the Sun! by Chinese artist Wentao Wang presents a Sun-like luminous orb that you can lift and lower.
Visitors can do this by reeling in a device that resembles a giant fishing rod. As you lower or elevate the ‘Sun’, its light will change between deep reds and warm oranges.
We expect that there will be queues lined up for this interactive artwork — because how often do you get to play with something like that? Beyond the interesting mechanics, you can also take photos and videos from multiple angles to create that optical illusion of you ‘fishing the Sun’.
Infinite Graffiti
If you haven’t already noticed, interaction is a huge focus for this year’s i Light Singapore, which is very fitting for its movement-inspired theme. And nothing shows this more than Infinite Graffiti from Canada.
This digital canvas allows anyone to grab a spray can and produce their own graffiti art without any physical paint involved. The technology is not just genius but responsive — it feels like you’re holding an actual spray can, pressing down an actual nozzle, while the paint follows your every move without delay.
The best part? Because it’s digital, you can always undo your mistakes or choose different colours and paint textures. A few people can also paint at the same time, filling up the wall with diverse creations. Once you’re done, you can even scan a QR code to download and keep your artwork for memories.
RESONORA
Here’s another one we thought was interesting. RESONORA by OSTUDIO and Dearista Nooria Kusuma from Indonesia is an interactive installation that makes use of sound. It picks up sounds from the environment and turns them into light.
There is also a loudspeaker you can speak (or shout) into. Watch as your voice changes the lights and colours of the installation in real time, then walk through it to take some close-up photos.
Sliced
Out of all the installations, we would argue that this is the one with the most cinematic photo opportunities. Stepping into Sliced, created by Encor Studio from Switzerland, puts you in a scene straight out of Dune and Interstellar.
When taken at the right angles, your photos will make you look like you walked through a passage of time or a mysterious pyramid structure. Don’t miss this immersive art installation that just oozes aura.
Barbershop Wonderland
Barbershop Wonderland is exactly what it sounds like. This long series of tall, colourful, bright barbershop poles is just screaming for you to take photos with it. The creation of Jeon Byeong Sam from South Korea, this mesmerising light installation is located at Clifford Square and is hard to miss.
But this is more than just a light display — we were surprised to discover it is interactive too! These barbershop lights are equipped with sensors that detect movement and only activate momentarily when someone passes by.
Naturally, many of us, adults and kids included, ran along the row of lights to watch it light up one by one. Seeing the lights follow us was a fun and satisfying experience, and you should definitely try it. In terms of ‘play’ factor, this is up there with Infinite Graffiti.
Arch Flower
The final light art installation on our journey was Arch Flower. This artwork by Cyril Lancelin from France is inspired by the tropical gardens of Singapore. From afar, it looks like a flower. Close-up, it’s a gradient world of pink and green.
This is the only i Light Singapore 2026 art piece located at Raffles Place, specifically Raffles Place Park, so make sure not to miss it if you want to check off every installation on the itinerary.
It is slightly further from the rest of the installations and just requires a short walk to get to, but is also conveniently located right outside Raffles Place MRT station. Perfect for those of you who need to travel via the North-South Line or East-West Line.
