A monumental, immersive production from Lightroom London, presented in Australia for the first time. The exhibition transforms Carriageworks' Bay 17 into a four-sided, large-scale digital environment combining painting, photography, drawing and digital media. It unfolds across six themed chapters with a specially composed score by Nico Muhly and narration by David Hockney himself, exploring his fascination with perception, perspective and the act of looking. The show has previously captivated audiences in London, Manchester, Shanghai and Seoul, welcoming over 650,000 visitors worldwide.
