The landmark project Aura at St Paul’s Cathedral for London Design Festival has been extended until 29 October.
Access is free for the public during Evensong and services.
About
Aura is a live installation by artist Pablo Valbuena that transforms the sounds present in the cathedral’s rituals into a pulsating line of light projected at an architectural scale. The piece is deeply intertwined with the context and fabric of Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece. It introduces new ideas while seamlessly integrating into the building and its daily life as if it had been part of the original design. Aura listens to the sound, voices and music generated in St Paul’s and materialises them into a spectral, three-dimensional aura.
Aura is a commission for London Design Festival in collaboration with Artichoke, supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
