Anish Kapoor Flashback at Longside Gallery

Pigment, reflection and the space inside sculpture.

My role: Direction, Editor

Anish Kapoor's Flashback exhibition brought early pigment works into conversation with sculptures exploring voids and mirrored surfaces. The film follows those changes in material and the way they alter our sense of depth and space.

An Arts Council Collection touring exhibition, Flashback reached Longside Gallery at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2012. Works from the collection were shown alongside loans from the artist and other public collections.
