OVO @Canary Wharf's Winter Lights 2017

I saw this light art installation online and couldn't work out how big it was from the photos, so I thought it needed a sense of scale; waiting for these people in the shot to stand still during the 0.3 seconds' exposure with the colour changing lights hitting the right combination was tricky!

 

The blurb:

 

"This large light installation comes to the UK for the first time for Winter Lights at Canary Wharf. On entering OVO, visitors are surrounded by light and soundscapes. Its dynamic form is a combination of 24 crossed spiral pairs based on the Golden Proportion that is present everywhere in the universe, from infinitely small in the DNA helix to infinitely large in the cyclical movement of planets and galaxies. Four artists created OVO: Mostafa Hadi and Pol Marchandise (Odeaubois) designed the sculpture; Koert Vermeulen (ACT Lighting Design) conceived the lighting design and Marcos Viñals Bassols (Art Director) shaped the global scenography."
