Jeppe Hein’s Appearing Rooms is a programmed water pavilion whose walls rise and fall to divide a square into shifting spaces. The London installation arrived at the Southbank Centre in 2006 and is currently closed until summer 2027. Source Source Checked
Southbank Centre’s visitor notice, checked 25 October 2026, says the fountain is closed until summer 2027. The archive hero is undated. A separate Commons photograph has conflicting 22/23 May 2009 dates, so its sighting is recorded only to the month. Source Source
