The Borealis Winter Festival, Alta, Norway
By icecircle
‘The Stallo and the Silver Moon’ was a stage design by Laila Kolostyák at the Borealis Winter Festival, Alta, Norway in 2015. Snow and ice is one of of Laila Kolostyák’s main material of expression, a material suited for working in large format in public areas- and engaging the local community. Laila has been cooperating with local people for many years, involving schools, artists and the municipality in creating large snow and ice installations to transform the city center. She works closely with Mari Bottolfsen and other teachers at the local college to work with more than four hundred teenagers and professional artists every year, working together and increasing a sense of community. The installations have become a focal point in the town centre and have contributed to the identity of Alta as a winter destination.
