Brighten up cold dark evenings with a trip to Battersea Power Station’s winter ‘glow-up’, a Light Festival featuring six spectacular installations by celebrated artists from around the world. Curated in partnership with the Light Art Collection founded by Amsterdam Light Festival, the Battersea edition is free to attend and installed right across the swanky riverside neighbourhood.
Making their UK debuts are Italian lighting designer Michela Bonzi with Antenna Sud and Felipe Prado with his intriguing Picto Sender Machine. Featuring an enormous low-resolution screen of 1,200 enlarged pixels, the machine invites you to record a short video message using only movement, dance and gesture.
Also on display is Angelo Bonello’s mesmerising Run Beyond. ‘This work is about the power of imagination,’ says the artist, ‘a force that is so strong that it allows individuals to overcome their fears and limitations so that they can open themselves up to other cultures, new friendships and unknown worlds.’
