Lucid Creates open giant light installation at Chatham
TOGETHER was created as a reaction to the isolation of lockdown
Kent-based festival set designers Lucid Creates (@lucidcreates__) has launched a stunning light installation at Chatham Riverside.
The piece, entitled TOGETHER, will be on show to the public until October 10th.
Lucid Creates, known for its large immersive stages at festivals such as Glastonbury and Parklife, began creating light art installations for public spaces during the pandemic as a way to continue to connect with audiences whilst events were restricted.
In the midst of the pandemic, Helen Swan and Chris Carr, the duo behind Lucid Creates, took to experimenting with light, sound and materials in their workshop to create public artworks that could combat the loneliness and negativity towards the future caused by the pandemic, and bring people together in a positive way.
Taking to social media the team said: “TOGETHER is a spectacular touring art installation by Lucid Creates. Measuring 15 metres in height and width, it is constructed of three giant metal rings lined with video and light, suspended between four towering steel pillars.
”Created as a reaction to the isolation of lockdown, the artwork is a huge pavilion-like open space in which communities can come together to celebrate their unity and uniqueness.”
TOGETHER will then go off across the country with stops at Wembley, Blackpool and Liverpool.
