‘Tiger on Eiger’ by Swiss Artist to Celebrate Chinese New Year
In January, the Swiss light artist Gerry Hofstetter and his team projected a tiger onto the north face of the Eiger. The aim was to congratulate Asia on the New Year, the year of the tiger, which began on February 1, 2022. At the same time, Gerry Hofstetter wanted to use the strong symbolism of the tiger to motivate all athletes at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing. The projection Tiger on Eiger is 5.3 km long and over 2 km high.
