Luminato Festival: Silos Projection

- New York-based conceptual artist, Jenny Holzer created an installation projected onto the Victory Soya Mills Silos during 2008's Luminato Festival.

- Words included texts with ideas on conflict and peace from several international poets:
- Yehuda Amichai (Israel)
- Wislawa Szymborska (Poland)
- Fadhil Al-Azzawi (Iraq)
- Mahmoud Darwish (Palestine)

- "Light spilled from the truck in a widening beam that scrolled elongated words along the landscape. As they continued upwards, the words slid into proportion, becoming readable as they hit the face of the monolithic block of silos". (International Contemporary Art magazine, March 22, 2008)
