Cars destroyed in the Ukraine war get a new life as part of the Lux Helsinki light festival in a work created by Czech designer Maxim Velcovsky. The four cars, illuminated in the dark, are each coupled with the story of how the car was an important part of its owner's life. "They illustrate how everyday life can suddenly fall apart" says Juha Rouhikoski, the festival's artistic director, who explains the "cars are just symbols... they could just as well be bicycles or whatever". "This can only evoke one emotion" says Karina Kytomaa, one of those attending the event, "which is intense sadness." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
