Studio Vertigo is a UK-based art and design collective founded by artists Lucy McDonnell and Stephen Newby. Working with a multidisciplinary team, we create light installations and sculptural interventions that respond to, integrate with - and sometimes gently disrupt - their surroundings.

We treat light as a material and public space as our canvas, from streets and waterfronts to parks and historic buildings. Our works often play with scale and familiar forms, so they can feel both unexpected and completely at home in their setting - interventions that momentarily alter our perception of the ordinary. By inviting people to pause, re-examine, and reconnect, we aim to reveal what’s often unseen within the everyday.

Studio Vertigo’s public art installations have appeared internationally, from Seoul and Amsterdam to Taiwan and Sydney, engaging diverse audiences and environments. Across these projects, our focus remains constant - to create works that briefly transform atmosphere and perception, where light, movement, and form invite us to see the world, and our place within it, a little differently.
