I never got round to posting about our visit to the Anthony Gormley exhibition at the Hayward Gallery over the Bank Holiday. In all, it’s a fascinating collection of works that major on the theme of space. The centerpiece of the exhibition is Blind Light; the glass box of dense white cloud that visitors are invited to explore.

Walking into the box is an amazing experience. Although your eyes are wide open, all you can see is bright white! It’s so disorientating as you can hear the sounds of other people around you but can’t see them until they are less than a foot away! Many times someone materialized out of the mist mere inches away from me!

The other thing you don’t expect is the water. Obviously the mist is water vapour so you know it’ll be damp, but you can actually feel the water going into your lungs as you breathe and when you finally emerge from the box, your clothes are saturated with an ultra-fine water coating.

I strongly recommend you go along and experience it for yourself. In the meantime, check out my Flickr set here.
