The Gift and The Message: A Norwegian Gift of Light by Norwegian artist Jan Kjetil Bjørheim is the latest in a series of window exhibitions outside Space Station Sixty-Five, in advance of the official reopening of the Dulwich-based gallery early next year. The mixed-media installation uses video and sculpture to explore a decorated Christmas tree's normally unseen quest to find the water and light it needs to survive. By depicting a scaled-down bare tree alongside a video screen displaying patterns of light, the artist rediscovers the mysticism beneath seasonal conventions.
