Over three days at the end of September, people were able to experience Wave by Squidsoup – the mesmerising sound and light installation. Taking place on Westham Bridge as part of this year’s Dusk til Dark from We Are Weymouth, the unique installation caught the imaginations of young and old alike.
Featuring five hundred suspended orbs shaped like a breaking ocean wave, visitors were able to delight in the changing colours and listen to the calming soundscape. Moving through the artwork created a wonderful sensory experience.
Kate Wood, Activate’s Artistic and Executive Director said, “Dusk til Dark, was such a success. Producing the sound and light installation ‘Wave’ by Squidsoup on Westham Bridge exceeded our expectations. Thousands of people shared their delight at the ingenious work that lit up the site.
Across the three days we had drawing, dance and yoga, people lying on the floor to get a better view, visitors crying because they were so moved by the artwork and excited children enjoying it too. The immersive artwork brought people together, many of whom travelled for miles to experience the event.
Partnering with We Are Weymouth means the town has access to world-class art like this.”
