The Light Show at Hayward Gallery shows fascinating light artworks in form of installations and sculptures. The exhibition features 22 different artists from 1960 onwards, who want to
show the powerful effect of light
on human psychology and its possibilities as a sculptural medium.
It is an fascinating experience for visitors, the Light Show enables them
to sense light in all its forms and colours.
I think it is an impressing exhibition. Artificial light can manipulate our senses and reconfigure our experience of space. Some installations and sculptures were very catching and thought provoking, others were not really for my liking. Have a look and get a ticket for the Light Show and experience the beauty of light.
Exhibition runs until 06. May

The 19,600 white LED lights in form of a cylinder create endlessly changing patterns and reminded me of falling water drops - wow!

I loved that visitors can actually experience light. 'Reality Show' is a mirrored phonebox looking object, where visitors can go inside and experience the fascinating reflection of light. Ivan Navarro created a mise en abyme of infinite light and reflection.
