The light installation Ledsagare (Guide) is inspired by the procession that opens the Nobel Banquet, when the master of ceremonies and university students escort the honoured guests to their seats at the table. It is an apparently simple gesture, but it sets the tone for a ceremony that brings people together to meet and join in conversation. The word ledsagare also means a signpost that shows the way – a role that a museum can play as well. Here the museum itself stands as a guide, outfitted in the blue-and-yellow sash that is associated with the Nobel festivities. We are here to welcome and to guide all of society – all our visitors are guests of honour.

Nobel Week Lights. “Space”.
Imagery from the outer corners of space will be projected onto the facade of Stockholm City Hall. The installation is one of the largest video mapping projects the city has ever seen in collaboration with, among others, the Swedish Space Agency and the European Space Agency.
The installation has a clear connection to this year’s physics prize awarded to the discovery of the universe’s strangest phenomenon – black holes.

Nobel Week Lights - Sense Light Swing
"Sense Light Swing" is a light fixture that is also a moving, eye-catching work of art. Alexander got the idea for the product when he saw a long exposure photograph of a highway; it became like red lines in the whole picture. “It should be the same effect if I make a children’s swing with light in it,” thought Alexander – and it was! The concept for "Sense Light Swing" was created for Alexander’s exhibition ”Five Playful Chairs” in 2005.
The swing seat is made of transparent acrylic and is illuminated from the inside by a strip of strong LEDs. Sense Light Swing creates a spectacular light show as it swings back and forth on its long ropes. Sense Light Swing has received a lot of attention in the international media with full pages in the New York Times and Herald Tribune, among others. The fashion house Dior has also used the swings in its International shows.
Nobel Week Lights will be the world premiere of the outdoor version of "Sense Light Swing". “Now it can finally hang out in the open air on a summer night – or a December night,” says Alexander.
