Ganzfeld

 

Please Note: Ganzfeld and Skyspace is closed due to maintenance on Sunday 6th of August. We apologize for any inconvenience. The installations opens again on Sunday 13th of August. 

 

Every sunday, all through the year we offer guided tours at daytime inside James Turrells magical light installation: Ganzfeld: Double Vision. Ganzfeld  is built inside an old water reservoir from the 1920s, where the room is filled with light and color which is a both visual and physical experience for visitors. You will experience Ganzfeld: Double Vision where the guide tells you about the artist and artwork. You will also see Skyspace: the color beneath which only can be fully experienced during the sunrise or sunset. The Sunday guided tours are free of charge with a drop-in system. No pre-booking available.
