Love Motion by Rhys Coren in the Royal Academy courtyard. It is a Matisse-inspired animation of two dancing paper-cut figures projected onto the facade of the Royal Academy, accompanied by a moving and original soundtrack. As Coren writes, “it’s cheesy and honest and emotional. It’s about a sort of spirituality. It’s about a longing for oneness and love and togetherness. It’s about a possible optimism. It’s about a definite scepticism”. The artwork will be on display from 18 to 21 January 2018 as part of the second edition of the light festival Lumiere London. Photo: Royal Academy of Arts.
