Visual Art

Light Falls

Through the transmission, refraction, redirection, generation, capture and interception of light, leading artists from Canada and across the globe will transform the city of London.

By turning night into day, day into night – warping time and space metaphorically and psychologically – the artists of LOLA 2009 will generate visions of brilliance and darkness that will challenge the senses and ignite the imagination.

Giant light sculptures, projections and installations will be visible for kilometres, while discrete illuminated objects, light installations and sound sculptures will activate the scene at a street level and at our indoor venues. Bioluminescence, flames, flatbed scanner beams, filtered street lighting, high powered projectors and redeployed concert and nightclub lighting are some of the light forms that will illuminate audiences at LOLA 2009.
