Access at the Luminarium, Hanley Park

We are looking at the interior of a Luminarium, an inflatable structure with corridors and chambers bathed in coloured light. From this view we are standing in the intersection of two corridors that can both be seen down. The corridors are circular and oval in shape and undulate side to side as they progress. The foreground where we are is a soft peach colour, and you can see the colours morph and blend as your eye travels down the corridors into blues, pinks and reds with purple and green spotlights at points adding pattern. You can see the black silhouette of a lone figure walking down the end of corridor on the right.
