James Turrell: Event Horizon
A Ganzfeld light room in Mona's Pharos wing where the walls seem to disappear
Event Horizon is a Ganzfeld work by James Turrell in Mona's Pharos wing: a coloured, cube-shaped room filled with shifting light in which the usual sense of the room's edges and boundaries disappears. This artwork may induce hallucinations and migraines. Mona advises caution if you are pregnant, prone to seizures, or have a pacemaker. Booking is recommended to avoid disappointment; a museum entry ticket is also required.
