Following the Houston exhibition in January, the Red Bull Illume Exhibit Tour is continuing its US adventure and will soon march on towards Charleston, South Carolina.
Starting on March 18, the Red Bull Illume tour stop will light up Downtown Charleston’s historic Marion Square every evening from 7pm to 11pm with the 50 best Red Bull Illume images. Visitors can witness the world's best action and adventure sports images at night out in the open through large lightboxes which illuminate each photo.
A private gala ceremony will take place at sundown on the first night, followed by a public event to "switch on" the lightboxes for the exhibition opening at 8pm. The ten-day exhibition will run to March 27 and also coincides with Charleston Fashion Week®, which will turn the city into a capital of style from March 22.
"I’m stoked to see my picture in that size" says finalist Flo Hagena (GER). "I’ve never seen one of my pictures that large. Getting into the top 50 is a real honor and to be judged by so many photo editors, it makes me really proud that they chose one of my pictures." For Eric Antoine (FRA), the exhibition is a chance to get feedback on his work as a piece of art. "It’s great to see the pictures big. My photo especially, it’s just a little piece of glass. It’s interesting to see how people perceive the photos because each photographer has his own opinion. It’s very interesting to see what comments people have. It’s great to hear the different visions people have of my work."
