Gormley's Blind Light
Today we ventured to the Hayward Gallery on London's South Bank to see and experience Antony Gormley's Blind Light exhibition.
Most importantly, to experience the center-piece of the exhibition, the Blind Light 'room' - like a squash court filled with light and water vapour. Visibility is reduced to about 18 inches.
It's a weird, unsettling, unreal experience. It made me giddy, giggly and a little dizzy. You can see only whiteness. It was cold - I could feel the water vapour condensing on my nostrils as I breathed out. I was hyper aware of my eyelashes and strands of my fringe that were in vision. The glass walls loomed out of the brightness dark and foreboding. Up close you could see out - people smiled and pointed and waved.
I highly recommend it.
