Viewing Rob and Nick Carter: Aurora: Light in Motion at The Berkeley

Continuing our festive outdoor artworks this week, head to Knightsbridge to see Rob and Nick Carter’s recently unveiled Aurora: Light in Motion.

Transforming the entrance of The Berkeley into a luminous, kinetic celebration of light and motion, the installation uses 150 bespoke neon beams, arranged in a dynamic sculptural architecture that literally responds to people arriving and leaving the hotel.

The effect is a living tapestry of colour and atmosphere: but this isn’t just decoration. Aurora reframes the idea of “festive light”, inhabiting the architecture, blending engineering, environment, and human presence. In the Carters’ own words, the work is “a quiet choreography of colour that welcomes guests and subtly transforms with their movement.”

In tandem, Rob and Nick Carter also present an exhibition of their neon light works at their studio gallery RNat5A until January 9th, a focused presentation that demonstrates their ongoing interest and experimentation with neon-based works, colour theory and optical illusion.
