Doug Foster 'Beyond The Infinite' (2016)
Inspired by the famous ‘Stargate’ sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey, Foster’s installation takes the form of an endless widescreen ‘tunnel’. Rendered with luminous textures borrowed from nature that flow from a central vanishing point, this immersive installation draws in the viewer, aiming to momentarily suspend them in time.

Mat Collishaw, A π (2016)
A primate's face overlays a human skull encased in a space helmet. Collishaw’s allusion to Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey juxtaposes ape and astronaut to suggest a kind of reverse archaeology – the ancient past discovering the distant future.

Chris Levine 'Mr Kubrick Is Looking' (2016)
A self-portrait by Kubrick is projected into the viewer’s peripheral vision using LED light technology. This ‘visual echo’ appears and disappears in a moment like a phantom. Levine is fascinated by the ‘sensory energy’ and ‘spiritual dimension’ of light.

CAMERA A, SCENE 136, TAKE 1 by Thomas Bangalter (2005–2016)
Musician and cinematographer Thomas Bangalter is best known for being one half of the electronic music duo Daft Punk. Taking his cue from Kubrick, Bangalter’s careful selection of camera equipment, particularly his choice of lenses, together with his use of natural light and an emphasis on the on-point perspective, is central to his work.

Koen Vanmechelen 'ENCOUNTER – C.C.P' (2004)
Koen Vanmechelen explores the image of the eye that recurs frequently in Kubrick’s films. Combining the human eye with his own signature chicken motif, Koen invites us to consider the borders of our humanity, the fluidity of our perception and potential for hybrid states of consciousness.

Doug Aitken 'Twilight' (2014)
Aitken’s sculpture recalls the public pay phone used, futilely, to avert nuclear catastrophe in Dr. Strangelove. Bathed in a luminous glow, this familiar object takes on a foreign nature, appearing as a relic from a bygone civilization suspended in time.
