The Green Ray : Curated by Andrew Hunt

Wilkinson Gallery (gallery Closed July 2017)
London E2 9DQ

Overview

‘The Green Ray’ takes its starting point from French new wave director Eric Rohmer’s 1986 film Le Rayon vert (The Green Ray). Rohmer’s film connects thematically with Jules Verne’s 1882 novel by the same name, and both film and book deal with a search for the scientific phenomenon of a rare green flash at sunset, which Verne interprets as revealing our thoughts and those of others ‘as if by magic’.
