Episode 8: In an empire of light, I want the sun to stay low

The availability of light doesn't just set a mood; it codifies human behaviour. That most powerful of light sources, the Sun, can be a symbol of warmth and hope, but it is also pervasive. In the natural world, it can be oppressive, even threatening. I take a look at how artists have treated the sun - and reveal some unexpected ambiguities. Artists discussed include the Beatles, JMW Turner, René Magritte and Joan Miró.This episode was recorded in London, England by Susan Gordon.
