LIMINA

Tendayi Vine and Bea Wilson (UK)

Location: Under the Viaduct, Access via Lambton Street

Play in reflections of water and light

Taking inspiration from the water patterns of the River Wear and the monolith in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, Limina invites visitors to immerse themselves in liquid light. 

The ever changing reflective surfaces of light and water are used to create a mesmerising, liminal space for visitors to explore. In the arch of the Viaduct, a black monolith is brought to life in the dark, and as the visitor approaches, ephemeral patterns are activated creating a moving light painting. Walk past and catch a smoky glimmer, immerse your whole body in the screen, or play with the patterns by moving with the shapes which are triggered by movement.

 

Access

The area at the North Road/A690 roundabout is tarmac with kerbed paths with dropped kerbs in places. If accessing from North Road towards viaduct there is an upward slope.
