American light and space artist Doug Wheeler’s latest installation mimics the feeling of flying inside Manhattan’s David Zwirner Gallery.
The site-specific piece is a light wall, and sees one of the gallery’s rooms drenched in milky light designed to evoke a blue sky on a cloudless day, and the flatness of the horizon. Wheeler has painted ceilings, walls and floors white to help reflect and diffuse light through space, alongside the use of nylon scrim and acrylic diffusers, and white neon UV lights.
