"With Heartbeat," he continues, "I want to represent the Market Building as the beating heart of this area — connecting its past with the present to allow visitors to re-examine its role at the heart of London's life." Also a part of the installation are white lights that palpitate to a rhythm similar to that of a beating heart, so that the cloud appears "as alive and vibrant as the area itself." See more, here.

I have the one of the same photos ready to be published in my Read & Watch post tomorrow morning! I found out about his work on Colossal and fell in love with the balloon images. It looks like a beautiful piece! If only it would have been up while I was in London in July.

So dreamy. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love how he thought about making the clouds appear alive - super pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, but these mostly make me think about air pollution and anticipate their contribution to the destruction of the natural environment. Sorry to be so negative, but I worry.
ReplyDeleteI wondered what your thoughts would be on this, as when I saw it, I thought of you. I think it's just so.
ReplyDeleteDaina, would have been so cool to see in person! But the photos are beautiful, too :)
ReplyDeleteAnon, no need to apologize. That's fair.
Erin, that's so nice! Thank you for thinking of me.
Hello! Just catching up on your blog, and saw this post that I'd seen when you first published it. Wanted to tell you that I had sent it to my sister-in-law and her husband who live in London, and they visited the exhibit. They loved the experience and shared some amazing photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for curating!
That's so wonderful to hear, Marie! I'm so glad they liked it — and wish I was there, too, to see it :) Thanks so much for reading!
