BATTERY PARK CITY — Brookfield Place’s Winter Garden will soon be transformed once again into a giant, luminous kaleidoscope.
With hundreds of strands of glowing, jewel-colored lights, designer Anne Militello will create a glittering show inside the 10-story glass atrium, starting Nov. 2.
The ethereal installation, called “Light Cycles,” returns for its third winter season, and is set to run through March 7. The light show, which will begin each night at sundown and end at midnight, is made of LED-embedded, mirrored discs suspended from the Winter Garden's barrel-vaulted glass roof.
The colors softly change every 20 minutes, and each day of the week features a different pattern of glowing lights. From Dec. 1 through Dec. 31, there will be special holiday-themed light shows each night, according to Brookfield Place.
Militello, an award-winning theater lighting designer, has also created several other light installations.
Her work can be seen atop the Four Points Sheraton in Midtown, across the facade and windows of the New York Historical Society and at the Missoni Boutique on Madison Avenue, where her large window art installation was the centerpiece of a BBC documentary about her work.
"Light Cycles" will be on view from sunset to midnight at Brookfield Place's Winter Garden, 220 Vesey St., from Nov. 2 through March 7.
