The second edition of the Signal light Festival started in Prague on Thursday night. Following last year's success, and for three consecutive nights, the historical centre of the Czech Republic's capital is lit up with art installations and video displays.

Organizers have invited visual artists from around the world who specialize in video mapping. They project intricately designed moving images and animations onto buildings. The director of the festival says one of the ideas behind the project is to attract people who don't usually go to galleries and art shows.

Among the installations, Hungarian video mappers are using the Kinsky Palace in the city centre as the backdrop for a piece called 'Dreamforge'. In its first year in 2013, the Signal festival attracted 250,000 people, a number that exceeded the organizers' expectations. The festival was so popular that other cities in the Czech Republic have set up their own light festivals.
