Minotaur at the Old Vic Tunnels

Over the weekend I went to an exhibition which was being held in The Old Vic Tunnels under waterloo train station.

All the work in the exhibition related to the theme of the ancient Greek mythological creature The Minotaur.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the tunnels and there was also a restaurant down there as well as bar which you could use.

Michael Najjar's motion work was hypnotizing; a cityscape that altered slow slowly you were aware something wasn't quite right but you couldn't see it change until it had.

Doug Foster's work also had this same effect; a projected image held above water that had such a fluid symmetrical motion you couldn't take your eyes off it.

For the exhibition Stanley Donwood also created a piece where you entered into a labyrinth that had strange noises, lights and heights to make you feel uneasy. A room of mirrors at the end also threw you off balance.
