Italian artist Nico Vascellari occupies the Whitworth’s Landscape Gallery. Visitors are invited to explore the haunting installation Bus de la Lum (‘Hole of Light’), which draws on the arcane powers of the forest and suggests the deep secrets within it. Vascellari also connects us to Darvaza (‘Door to Hell’), a vast, burning crater in the desert of Turkmenistan. The stories of these two magical places are interwoven by light, shadow and an extraordinary soundtrack created in collaboration with Turkish-born musician Ghédalia Tazartès.
The exhibition runs from the 25th of February to the 18th of September at the Whitworth Gallery.
