Intrigued by the name “Lysbomben,” which translates to “The Light Bomb,” aren’t you? This sculpture, right here before us, is nestled within the Marieberg neighborhood of Kungsholmen, Stockholm. Lysbomben is more than just art. It’s a landmark intertwined with the identity of the Bostadsrättsföreningen Lysbomben, the housing cooperative that calls this place home. The sculpture’s presence marks not only a physical location, but also a community. The official address is Fyrverkarbacken 21-27, a street name that adds to the explosive imagery evoked by “Lysbomben”. The cooperative, Brf Lysbomben, was established in 1990. This vibrant community within Stockholm thrives, holding meetings, managing shared amenities like laundry rooms, a gym, and even a guest apartment. They even have a dedicated “framtidsgruppen,” or future group, focused on enhancing their property and surrounding area. So, while we admire Tommy Östmar’s creation, remember that the Lysbomben Sculpture is more than just a visual spectacle. It’s a symbol of a thriving community, a light bomb of shared living and future aspirations.
