Do you believe in Fairies??? !!!!! lighting design by Bruce Munro

Do you believe in fairies. Wow I actually can say that I do after seeing this project. It almost travels me into the world of Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pans Neverland. A happy dreamer, a happy believer. Bruce Munro has managed to captivate our attention in the most of tranquil way. Using light installations along with sculptures he manages to fly as away to another magical land where dreams always come true as long as you believe in them. Enjoy this magical journey.

In 'light', his first-ever large-scale solo show, british artist Bruce Munro fills pennsylvania's longwood gardens with sculptural and immersive installations, comprising over the course of 23-acres six outdoor installations, two interior projects within the grand conservatory on the grounds, and a collection of illuminated sculptural works in the 'music room'.


Nearly all of the outdoor works seem to hide amidst nature: 'waterlilies', composed of hundreds of used CDs, float alongside natural victoria lilies in one of the garden's lakes, and 'arrow spring', named after the river in the book 'kim' by rudyard kipling, creates a meandering spring set among the salvia plants.

'Forest of light' illuminates the woods with 20,000 stems scattered along a forest path. more information and concept renders in designboom's 2011 preview of the longwood gardens 'light' exhibition.


Brought outside the UK for the first time, several of the installations are site-specific reinterpretations of previous projects. In the gardens' water meadow, nine small water towers pulse through the spectrum of colours in time to music (more information about the work in designboom's coverage of its original installation at salisbury cathedral) . 7,000 plant-like lighting sculptures comprise 'field of light', which is set along the lake banks (first installed at the holburne museum).
