Gormley: Critical Mass

this suitably modernist building.

Pavilion Unseen
During the 1820s, the Royal Pavilion was more than simply a sumptuous playground for an errant king: it was an elaborate and magical stage set, upon which the strata of society played out their roles.
The Pavilion Unseen project by photographer Michael Hughes sets out to capture this transfer of energy and social structure from one domain to another through a series of images taken of the Royal Pavilion at night, using only available light.
Pavilion Unseen, Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, 01273 2909000. Until 1 August
