Sister to the Bridge Theatre in London Bridge but a very different prospect, the Lightroom capitalises on the current craze for projection-based work by creating what is effectively a projection-based art gallery. A collaboration between Bridge boss Nicholas Hytner’s London Theatre Company and the design studio 59 Productions, it’s effectively a single gigantic gallery space with extremely sophisticated projection capability and sound design.
As of late December 2023 it has hosted two shows: a David Hockney exhibition (‘Bigger & Closer’) that resembles a more sophisticated version of the touring Van Gough exhibits that are to be found all over the world now, and ‘The Moonwalkers’, essentially a documentary.
