The Rain Room at LACMA

A visit to the rain Rain Room at LACMA. Shot with the iPhone 5, shows people walking through the rain, yet staying completely dry. Sensors in the celling detect your movements and stop the rain where you are walking. Here a you tube video that explains it. https://youtu.be/RM-rW75kIq4

I took this with the iPhone as we walked through the rain, staying completely dry. And I wasn't even wearing any clothes..... Go figure ? This link will explain https://youtu.be/RM-rW75kIq4

LLoydcrest Estate, Beverly Hills.

This amazing home was designed by Trip Haenisch on the side of a very big hill in Beverly Hills, overlooking Los Angeles. It's beautiful. I had the pleasure of visiting over the last stages of construction, as Saatchi Art were installing an exhibition of work from a selection of their artists.

The sculptures, paintings and photographs complimenting the design in every room. There was wine in the cellar which stood high within the glass stairwell, two fully stocked bars, a Tequila bar, a large cinema with a wall of sweets and candy in tall jars. A walk through the Art gallery took you to the guest quarters, a house in it's self, all with open views across the green lawn, surrounded in its entirety by a moat like infinity pool and then you're flying, down the valley and out across the City of Angels. 

Here's the lookbook showing the artwork in situ . Produced by Saatchi Art in line with the projects completion in 2016. The link will open the book in a new page and allow you to flick through and have a look. https://issuu.com/saatchiart/docs/lloydcrest_lookbook/9
