An artful adrenaline awaits you at Carsten Höller’s upcoming retrospective Carsten Höller: Decision at SouthBank Centre’s Hayward Gallery. The show features 20 years of Höller’s high-spiritedexperimental artworks and culminates in an invitation to climb inside Höller’s famed Dual Slides and spiral to the ground with ease.

The show will exhibit the artist’s older works, such as Flying Machine, as well as a few new pieces, including Flying Mushrooms —described as "giant psychedelic mushrooms"—and Moving Beds—robotically enchanted beds that wander dreamily through space. Decision’s immersive journey brings to light Höller's aims to alter perceptions and disorient the senses. Provided, of course, that you follow the show’s safety guidelines.
