ABOUT LIGHTROOM

Lightroom is a new permanent projection-based arts venue which opened in Kings Cross, London in February 2023. Created through a joint venture between 59 Studio and London Theatre Company, Lightroom creates remarkable artist-led shows for audiences in London and across the world.

We invite the world’s leading creative minds to use our vast space and revolutionary technology to create something completely new. We launched in February 2023 with Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away), a collaboration with artist David Hockney.

In November 2024, we launched Vogue: Inventing the Runway, made in collaboration with the esteemed publication and Anna Wintour. In summer 2025, we will open Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs in collaboration with Apple TV+.
