James Turrell's light sculpture at Waterloo Bridge I just read about a light installation by James Turrell at Waterloo Bridge (around 2005). But, I could not find any image of it on the web and still have some questions about it. I hope those of you who live in the UK have seen it or know a little more about it. What makes this to be "not obtrusive but fit harmoniously into the ambient light"? Turrell is constructing a permanent light sculpture at Waterloo Bridge on the River Thames in London in sequences, which will occur from dusk to midnight, in which the façades of surrounding buildings will be gently washed in a slowly changing display of colour, highlighting the abstract shapes of the arches that span the length of the bridge and symbolically uniting north to south bank. Fundamental to Turrell’s scheme is the need to consider the effects of light pollution, so the display is not obtrusive but fits harmoniously into the ambient light, while delicately challenging the viewer’s perceptions.
