We eat light, drink it in through our skins. With a little more exposure to light, you feel part of things physically. -James Turrell

In the 1960s the Light and Space art movement emerged in Southern California, greatly influenced by American abstract artist John McLaughlin. It involved working with non-traditional mediums, such as light, volume, and scale. Artists like Peter Alexander, created immersive visual experiences during this time. Semi-translucent cuboidal shapes made out of resin, changing colors depending on viewer’s perspective. A collection of ethereal worlds, optical art, and geometric abstraction. The Light and Space movement continues to inspire contemporary artists like painter and sculptor Casper Brindle and his Aura monochromatic pieces. There is a different type of light show produced by thousands of artists working together, yet unaware of each other’s presence. The absence of the sun every evening unveils a million and one lights, igniting Shau Kei Wan. Sky high superstructures glisten and twinkle revealing intimate stories of worlds unknown. Next time you find yourself stranded on the island, take a second to look up and peek into the many eyes of this city. What you find might surprise you.
