ALBESILA LUMINARIUM by Architects of Air:

A strange, inflatable structure appeared on Ipswich Waterfront during SPILL 2021, ready for audiences to explore…

A luminarium is a sculpture people enter to be moved to a sense of wonder at the beauty of light and colour.

Through labyrinthine tunnels and cavernous domes, visitors move in a medium of saturated and subtle hues. Vivid reflections of liquid colour spill across the curved walls creating a world apart from the normal and everyday.

Albesila Luminarium takes its inspiration from Eggopolis, the luminarium that launched Architects of Air in 1992. It is a maze of 27 egg-shaped domes – some featuring Islamic ceiling patterns and some creating the trunk of a monumental tree.
