Art Installations Immerse Viewers in Vibrant Colour

American artist James Turrell is known for his manipulation of light, colour and physical space in large-scale art installations.

His new exhibition See! Colour! has opened in Järna, Sweden, and features five key works which use intense combinations of colour and real-world light phenomena to create a mind-blowing visual spectacle, specific to locations in space and time.

Light sways between the red/blue spectrum in Ganzfeld; while Skyspace (best viewed during twilight or dawn) includes illuminated walls which transform the sky with programmed lighting elements.

Bindu Shards transports a single observer on a 15-minute journey of light and sound. Provided with headphones and a panic button, you are situated inside a sphere. The experience triggers "Behind the Eye Seeing," which Turrell explains to be the sensation of having your entire field of vision extended through to 360 degrees.
