Artist’s concept. „I’ve been carrying an idea of this concept for a few years, it was just waiting for the right time to be implemented,” says Dominykas Koncevičius, the author of the tree. „This year was marked by deep transformations in many areas of life, and it reminded me of surrealism that had surfaced a hundred years ago. I was influenced by it and had an urge to change the traditional form of a Christmas Tree, transforming it into something unpredictable, modern and authentic. The tree transformed itself and „crossed its boundaries.” This concept reflects on the reality of the modern world.”
Tree structure. A modern 24-meter tall composition is surrounded by 6,000 live and fragrant branches decorated with almost 4 km of colour-changing RGB Christmas lights, 800 silver ornaments, and 150 sq. m of shining mirrors. The state-of-the-art installation is twofold: the spatial placement of metal structures creates several mirror-adorned areas while the inside is made to look cosy, home-like, and intimate with a live Christmas tree decorated with pine cones and lanterns. To make it eco-friendly, the lights are powered with electricity generated by processing old coffee grounds.
Virtual Christmas Fairs. Traditional Christmas fairs are moving online this year, to an e-Christmas Fair. Shoppers will have the chance to purchase original gifts and products that would have been sold in a real Christmas Town around the Christmas tree.
