Spike Island Exhibition Services undertook a contract with Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust. The brief was to deliver the permanent installation of a film commission by artist, Chrystel Lebas and sound designer by Paul Richardson, within a purpose-built Ambient Room, as part of the new Dyson Cancer Centre.
The Centre has been designed to ‘transform the care provided for patients, their families and carers, offering a nurturing and therapeutic environment that reduces stress and anxiety by promoting health and wellbeing’. Chrystel Lebas’ installation at the Centre offers an immersive experience with a looped one-hour film recorded in an ancient bluebell forest in Wiltshire, tracking it from dawn to dusk in the spring and paired with a multi-channel soundscape.
