Liz West Transforms a Bristol Parking Garage into a Kaleidoscopic Passageway

Who said parking garages were just for cars? British artist and color devotee Liz West has transformed a single floor of a typical concrete structure into an immersive chromatic environment fit for skating, dancing, and basking in a rainbow glow.

To create “Our Colour,” West covered hundreds of existing lights in the Cabot Circus Car Park with pigmented theatre gels. Without its usual traffic, the space instead becomes an open canvas for the artist’s interest in experiencing color in a more direct and physical way.

“Does colour change the way you feel? What does it feel like to be inside a rainbow? I was to invite visitors to drench themselves in the spectrum and allow them to question their individual perception of colour,” she says.

The temporary installation is part of the Bristol Light Festival, which runs through February 28. Follow West’s latest projects on Instagram.
