APPEARING ROOMS by Jeppe Hein
Outside the Royal Festival Hall on the south bank of the Thames there are walls made of water.
They come and go and
it is difficult to predict
where exactly they will appear
next. Perhaps the best idea is to come prepared
with suitable
apparel.
The installation is by the Danish artist Jeppe Hein. It first appeared on the site in 1951 during the Festival Of Britain - which was close to a decade before I was born. It looked like so much fun that it made me wish I was at least thirty-five years younger than I am.
That's my trouble - always too late or too early.
It will be there until the 16th September and is open from 10am until 10pm. Fun in the dark too, I expect.

It is a 100 degrees in the shade here, so gigantor water walls of a fountain sounds perfect for hot aug.
I don't think I can even imagine what 100 degrees in the shade feels like, Susangalique! It sounds pretty wonderful though.
Perfect for global warming days as long as there is enough water.
Hi Aydin. I would just like to say that the UK has got quite enough water at the moment and definitely doesn't need any more.
Love the pics of the children enjoying the water...
