Under the bright starlight, a colorful "tiger" crawls on Mount egger near the city of greendelwald in central Switzerland. The giant tiger is 5.3 kilometers long and 2.2 kilometers high. The markings on the tiger's head contrast with the mottled snow on the top of the peak. Its front claws lie on the snow covered ground, and the gentle falling curve of the hillside is just like a lying tiger. On the occasion of the Spring Festival of the Chinese lunar year of the tiger, Swiss lighting artist and film producer GRI Hofstetter showed his projection work - "the tiger on Mount egger". In order to better introduce the creation process of the light show, hofstetel came to egger peak again on the 12th and was interviewed by Xinhua News Agency reporters at the place where the giant tiger projection was created. He said that this year is the year of the tiger. The tiger symbolizes the spirit of struggle and struggle. He hopes that the "tiger on egger peak" can cheer up the athletes struggling in the Beijing Winter Olympics and arouse the public's awareness of the protection of tigers and other endangered animals. Hofstetter and his creative team spent more than a year to complete this giant light art work. He said that in order to perfectly present this 15 minute work, the team used specially developed projection equipment with unique technology, with a maximum projection distance of 20 kilometers, and took into account various influencing factors such as weather, wind speed, phase of the moon, temperature and starlight. Hofstetter said that the shape of Mount egger is similar to a lying tiger, which is the inspiration for his creation of "tiger on Mount egger". English "egger" and "tiger" have similar pronunciation, and the spelling is only one letter different. "This is also an interesting word game". "The tiger is a huge and beautiful creature. It lies quietly, but shows its internal strength. I hope that athletes from all countries participating in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games will work hard on the field like tigers." Hofstetter said that China will celebrate the Spring Festival of the year of the tiger on February 1. He also hopes to use this work to express his best wishes for the year of the tiger.
