The outline of one of Brighton's landmark buildings will light up the night sky as it is transformed into a giant screen.

The imposing main building at Brighton General Hospital will feature images tracing the hospital's history.

The screening will be produced by artist Natalie Vin, who has already lit up the Royal Pavilion and a group of houses in Adelaide Crescent, Hove.

Brighton General, a Grade I-listed building, is more than 140 years old and has been used as a workhouse and infirmary.

It is now owned by South Downs Health NHS Trust, which provides mental health, rehabilitation and community services to thousands of people in Brighton and Hove.

Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, also provides some facilities.

The screening, titled the Glow Project, is planned for World Mental Health Day on October 10. The search is on for personal stories and photos.

The screening is part of South Downs Health's bid to bring art to its hospitals.

No patient money is used to pay for the project and the trust is on the lookout for sponsors.

Anyone who has a story or photographs can send them to Brian Morgan at Brighton General Hospital, Elm Grove, Brighton BN2 3EW, or email them to brian.morgan@southdowns. nhs.uk
