"The biggest challenge was to create a lighting design powerful enough to be effective in broad daylight" said EVENT designer James O'Connell. "With the right kit in place, we were able to project shadow effects against the vast walls and floor of the hall, extending the impact of the installation across the entire space. It was crucial that this effect was able to counter the natural light from the huge glass ceiling."
Once the equipment had been sourced and initial design work done, EVENT began working with the artist and curator to fine-tune the effect. The rig has to be durable enough to last the duration of the seven-month installation and positioned to work with any temporary lighting used for evening entertainment events.
"We are delighted to be involved with this project" says Mark Beaver, managing director of EVENT. "We've invested in developing our creative skills and this work is a testimony to the team's creative talent as much as our technical capabilities."
