BLIND LIGHT, THE HAYWARD GALLERY, LONDON, ENGLAND, 2007
17 May - 19 August 2007
Curated by Ralph Rugoff and Jacky Klein, BLIND LIGHT took the body as its point of departure, inviting visitors to embark on a journey through different kinds of space. It explored the ways in which we orient ourselves spatially, how we react when disoriented, and how we relate to architecture and the built environment. The exhibition included a series of new installations, alongside a selection of previous work, and extended beyond the gallery walls with EVENT HORIZON (2007), 31 figures placed on rooftops and public walkways in central London.
