VIBRANT colours and ghostly images danced across the Royal Pavilion as the landmark was illuminated for the Brighton Festival.
As part of the Dr Blighty installation, which has taken over the grounds of the Royal Pavilion Estate, the city centre palace was illuminated with a myriad of bright colours and images produced by QED.
The exhibit looks at the more than 2000 Indian soldiers who were treated in the grounds of the estate after being shipped to Brighton from the Western Front of the First World War.
The installation is a collaboration between the Brighton Festival and cultural programme marking the Great War’s centenary 14-18 Now.
It features actors, video projectors, and soundscapes inspired by letters the soldiers wrote back home.
It is produced by performance company Nukhut working with a creative team including Tom Piper, the man behind the ceramic Tower of London poppies.
The Philharmonia Orchestra will perform at the Dome alongside some of India's leading contemporary musicians on May 28.
The hospital installation will be complimented with other related performances and outreach activities as the exhibit runs for until May 29.
