Flynn Talbot
Australian-born artist and designer Flynn Talbot specialises in light-based artworks, installations and commissions for buildings and galleries around the world. Talbot’s approach begins with the effect he wishes to create, using colour, form and quality of late to create emotive connections with an audience. In 2017, he became the first artist invited to create a London Design Festival installation for the V&A’s newly opened Prince Consort Gallery – the powerful and immersive Reflection Room. In 2018, Talbot takes charge of the Australian Pavilion for the London Design Biennale at Somerset House (4–23 September). Following the event’s theme, 'Emotional States’, Talbot presents Full Spectrum – a celebration of the love and openness represented by Australia’s legalisation of same-sex marriage in 150 strands of fibre optic light – each one a different colour.
WHAT WE DID FOR Flynn Talbot
After working with Flynn on a short film to tell the story behind his LDF project, Reflection Room in 2017, the Zetteler Films team were thrilled to revisit him one year on as he put the finishing touches to his fibre-optic tour de force for the London Design Biennale.
