London Design Festival Installations
St Paul's hosts two artworks in the Cathedral's grounds by Ukrainian artist Mykola Kabluka, a lighting designer, contemporary artist, and creative director and founder of Expolight, Ukraine’s leading lighting design and media art studio.
Presented in the UK for the first time, two installations by Ukrainian artist Mykola Kabluka will be displayed in the Cathedral grounds. With more than 20 years of experience in architectural lighting design, Kabluka is internationally recognised for using light as a social, cultural and emotional medium. His installations invite visitors to reflect on themes of unity, hope and shared human experience.
"Soul", a large-scale participatory light and projection installation will be projected onto the Cathedral's west front in the evening. Visitors are encouraged to contribute thoughts and reflections through a digital platform, generating coloured light responses connected to themes such as hope, peace, kindness and community.
"The Point of Unity" is a sculptural light installation that received international recognition following its debut at Burning Man 2025. Located in the south Churchyard Gardens, the work features a mirrored canopy that reflects visitors, architecture and sky by day. After dark, it transforms into an illuminated environment incorporating fibre-optic lighting, laser effects and sound.
The installations will be at the Cathedral until September 27th and everyone is welcome to come and experience them at no cost.
