Beyond the Deepening Shadow
Beyond the Deepening Shadow: The Tower Remembers
(4-11 November 2018)
As the nation commemorates the centenary of the end of the First World War, a new installation at the Tower of London, Beyond the Deepening Shadow: The Tower Remembers will fill the moat with thousands of individual flames: a public act of remembrance for the lives of the fallen, honouring their sacrifice.
Beyond the Deepening Shadow is an evolving installation, which will unfold each evening over the course of four hours, between 17:00 and 21:00 each evening, with the Tower moat gradually illuminated by individual flames.
The unfolding visual spectacle will be accompanied by a specially-commissioned sound installation; a sonic exploration of the shifting tide of political alliances, friendship, love and loss in war.
At the centre of the sound installation lies a new choral work, 'One lighted look for me' by Sound Artist Mira Calix with words from War Poet Mary Borden’s Sonnets to a Soldier.
