Bridget’s Bardo by James Turrell

Bridget’s Bardo by James Turrell

Amazing light installation by American light artist James Turrell in Bridget’s Bardo (Ganzfeld Piece) exhibition.

In collaboration with the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg, James Turrell has created his largest-ever walk-in light installation in a museum context: an 11-metre-high, ‘space within a space’ structure that covers a floor area of 700 square meters and reaches up to the glass roof of the museum. Turrell’s “Ganzfeld Piece: Bridget’s Bardo” is a hollow construction divided into two parts. The two interconnecting chambers ‘the Viewing Space’ and the ‘Sensing Space’ are both completely empty and – a new feature of this type of work – flooded with slowly changing colored light.

  1. James Turrell is a visionary. I'm always impressed by his work. I wish I could have experienced that in person, but luckily there is a phenomenal contemporary art piece of his at PhxArt that I love and can see all the time.
