HALO

Between April 19th and 29th, All Saints church, in conjunction with Fermynwoods Contemporary Art is delighted to be hosting “HALO”, an installation by Swiss Danish artist, Tobias Zehntner.

Halo is a suspended light installation that creates a moving interplay of light and shadow that illuminates the church’s architecture and forms halos above the audience.

Originally commissioned in the Abbaye de la Cambre, Belgium, Halo features a suspended light installation that creates a moving interplay of light and shadow that illuminates the church's architecture and forms halos above the audience. Zehntner describes the installation as lighting the church space "as if candles would dance inside".

All Saints and Fermynwoods Contemporary Art aim to create a sense of wonder and a shared experience for the local community by bringing this internationally celebrated art installation to this renowned Grade I listed Anglo Saxon Church in Northamptonshire. The partnership hopes to revitalise the space as a meeting point, connect different groups, and support tourism within the county. A special church service will encourage interfaith and intercultural dialogue, reflection, and contemplation.

In the evenings, there will be opportunities to visit the church and experience the installation as performers give short recitals, gigs or just rehearse in the church. And if you are a performer or a member of a performance groups and would be interested in using the church for 45 minutes to an hour one evening, please contact allsaints.earlsbarton@outlook.com with any questions or for details.

General admission to the church will be free during this time unless evening performances or private groups require ticket admission or closure to the public. Please see check the website for updates.
