From a career in commercial lighting design, Bruce Munro (b.1959) returned to his artistic roots to create large immersive site-specific light installations. Exploring Munro’s fascinating career to date, this book presents an artist whose work is an exploration of place, topography and the environments in which the works are set.

From the Australian desert to Californian vineyards, through to museums and manor houses in his native England, Munro’s spellbinding installations are immersive experiences that engage with the senses, their apparent simplicity belying the thematic and technological complexity behind their conception and realisation.

Munro continually probes the possibilities of light and the considerable emotional pull the medium can create. His enthusiasm for his materials and their relationship with audiences and environments are intelligently and engagingly communicated here. Richly illustrated with beautiful reproductions of Munro's spectacular work, Light Field is essential reading for anyone interested in the power of light as an artform.
