07 / The Dual Doors {Portswood Tunnel}

2019

The Dual Doors, a site-specific work, is a set of two light-based sculptures placed specifically at opposing ends of a historical tunnel in the V&A Waterfront. At first glance, each sculpture appears as the opposite colour of the other, and the space between them a wash of contrasting coloured light. After walking through the first door, though, the viewer comes to understand that the two are both the same. 

Warther Dixon’s The Space Between Us explores the space between two things that is often made up of tension and feeling, which determines the quality of that relational space. This inquiry has led the artists to create constructs in light and space that firmly place the viewer in the position of conscious subject.
