Studio Vertigo

SENTINEL — Copenhagen Light Festival ✨ It’s a real privilege to have been invited by the Danish Architecture Center (DAC) to show Sentinel outside DAC at @bloxkbh on Copenhagen’s waterfront. Installed at Træbryggen, Sentinel is an immersive light sculpture that balances precision and softness: straight elements, each subtly shifted from the next, build a sweeping wing-like curve that feels drawn through space. As you move, the form appears to open and fold - from a single gesture into a fan of luminous lines - while warm golden light drifts through the structure in a slow, continuous flow, like a wingbeat held in time. Part of Copenhagen Light Festival at DAC: 29 Jan – 18 Feb, illuminated daily 17:00–22:00 Thank you Copenhagen - and thank you @danisharchitecturecenter for the invitation. #CopenhagenLightFestival #DAC #BLOX #LightArt #PublicArt InstallationArt Copenhagen

River of Light - Blueprint 🧬 📍 The Strand 🧑‍🎨 @studio_vertigo Blueprint is a large-scale light and sound sculpture inspired by the DNA double helix, transforming genetic science into an immersive sensory experience. Blueprint takes the natural architecture of DNA as both inspiration and framework, translating elements of real genetic data from the research of Professor Christian Hedrich and his team at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, who study how mutations in individual genes influence childhood autoimmune diseases. See all ten installations as part of River of Light until 2 November. ⏰ 5pm-9pm ✨ FREE See the link in our bio for all the information you need to plan your visit to Liverpool this half term! #VisitLiverpool #Liverpool #RiverOfLight

Great to be invited to Uppsala again this year - one of our favourite works in one of our favourite places. Our Beating Heart takes the mirror ball out of the nightclub and into the city. As it slowly rotates, reflections drift over buildings, trees and passers-by, turning the streets into a shifting dance floor. Inspired by shared love and the disco ball’s ability to bring people together, its multi-faceted mirrored surface reflects the diversity of the crowd, creating a quiet public pulse of unity and shared experience. Thanks to the always brilliant team @alltljuspauppsala 📹 Gustav Dalesjö

SNEAK PEEK! Op het Caterplein schittert straks ‘Our Beating Heart’ van Studio Vertigo (VK). Een groot, ronddraaiend hart, bekleed met duizenden spiegeltjes, verspreidt reflecties over het plein. Door de langzame beweging verandert het beeld voortdurend en ontstaat een levendig spel van licht en schaduw in de openbare ruimte. Perfecte plek voor een insta waardige foto in het hart het Apeldoornse nachtleven 🪩 @outoftheratrace_ootrr

Winter Lights at Canary Wharf - 10th edition ✨ (DREAMSCAPE, 20–31 Jan 2026)  Now that the festival has closed, here’s a look back at Blueprint. Blueprint is a light + sound sculpture inspired by the DNA double helix - two intertwined strands spiralling around a shared axis. Research data from TLR7 gene work (Professor Christian Hedrich’s team, Liverpool) was mapped onto the lighting, shaping shifts in colour, rhythm and intensity, with a nod to four-colour sequencing chemistry. Composer and sound artist @edcarter__ sonified the same dataset to produce the audio - turning the data into a shared sensory experience. Thank you to everyone who came to wander, listen, and spend time with the work. With thanks to the Winter Lights team at @canarywharflondon 🙏 Originally commissioned by @culture_liverpool #WinterLights #CanaryWharf #DREAMSCAPE #LightArt #Blueprint

Repost from @luxhelsinki • Britit laittavat keskustan säihkymään!✨ Lux Helsingin aikaan Rautatientorilla voi kokea peililabyrintin kaltaisen Continuum-installaation, kun taas Keskuskadulla nähdään vihdoin odotettu, jättimäinen Slinky-vieterilelu End Over End -teoksessa. Studio Vertigo (UK) - End Over End Lapsuuden tarinoita mieliin nostaa suosittu ja ikoninen Slinky-vieterilelu. Teoksessa Slinkyn valtava mittakaava kääntää lelun ja ihmisen mittasuhteet päälaelleen luoden kutistumisen tunteen – kuin olisimme Liisa Ihmemaassa. Teos haastaa näin roolimme katsojana ja horjuttaa tavanomaista suhdettamme esineisiin ja ympäröivään maailmaan. ––– The city center is getting LIT by the Brits!✨ During Lux Helsinki, you can experience the mirror maze-like Continuum installation at Rautatientori, while Keskuskatu will finally showcase the long-awaited giant Slinky toy in the End Over End artwork. Studio Vertigo (UK) - End Over End Childhood stories are surely evoked in many minds by the popular and iconic Slinky spring toy. The oversized scale of the Slinky turns the proportions between you and the toy upside down, while creating a sense of shrinking, as if we were Alice in Wonderland. It challenges our role as viewers and disrupts our usual relationship with objects and our environment. 📸: @tophermcgrillis #LuxHelsinki #LuxHelsinki2025
