Points of Departure [Ray Lee], Brighton Festival
May 1, 2021 - May 23, 2021
Against the backdrop of night, take a walk through the atmospheric industrial landscape of Shoreham Port and be dazzled by otherworldly sound and light installations.

Wondrous machines emerge from the darkness to a strange but haunting effect – monumental kinetic sculptures that seemingly defy gravity as they spin and whirl in an endless dynamic dance.

In this one-of-a-kind event, you are treated to a viewing of Ray Lee’s spectacular sculptures, brought together for the first time. Towering metal tripods sing out a hypnotic siren call, while lights whirl in mesmerising orbits of colour. A series of giant towers holding suspended speaker cones gradually swing higher and higher until each arm soars up over the heads of the audience – ringing with electronic tones that create a transfixing harmony of pulsing drones.

The structures sing an alien song, a sci-fi symphony that points to a future departure to other worlds and another universe.
