Through No.4: Lightwaves, MediaCityUK, Salford

3 - 12 December 2021

Through No. 4 a permanent artwork at MediaCityUK consisting of a six-metre long triangular corridor of light and colour. The walk-through structure encourages visitors to look at their surroundings in a different light. Making your way inside the multi-coloured corridor through either side of the structure, visitors can see the world around them transformed by saturate colour.

This will be amplified and exaggerated during Lightwaves through the use of elegant and focused artificial lighting of the piece, turning the multicoloured artwork into a jewel in the dark. The coloured barrier between the outside and inside creates a multi-coloured striped cloak and distortion in an array of different hues and overlaid mixed colours, transforming the usual colourations and appearance of the outside environment.

Taking place from Friday 3rd to Sunday 12th December, Lightwaves, the annual 10-day light festival animating Salford Quays features its most ambitious line-up to date. Free to attend, no tickets are required.
