Notable Belgian artist Carsten Höller has turned the South Bank into a playground with fairground-style slides and immersive installations.

Known for his experiential installations, participatory artworks and immersive environments, this new exhibition is the artist’s largest survey show in the UK to date - having previously installed slides in the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall (in 2006). 

The exhibition (entitled Decision), sprawls across Hayward Gallery and erupts beyond its roof and walls, explores perception and decision making. Confronting visitors with a series of choices, it features mirrors, disconcerting doubles and mysterious objects which together create an impression of a world where nothing is quite as it seems. The slides will be the final decision to make on how to exit the exhibition.

This must-see summer show includes pieces made by Holler over the past 20 years as well as new commissions that have been "designed to profoundly re-orientate our awareness of time and space." One exhibit, Pill Clock, is a ceiling-mounted timepiece that will drop over one million pills onto the gallery floor during the course of the exhibition. The installation includes a drinking fountain for those visitors who decide to take one of the pills. Another piece is Flying Mushrooms, an upside-down mobile with "giant psychedelic mushrooms", and Moving Beds, a pair of robotic beds that will restlessly roam the galleries like "insomniac twins". Tickets cost from £13.50.
