UK - City of London - Elysian Arcs 01_fisheye_5004621
My Website : Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : Photocrowd
I've only just finished uploading photos from the #LondonFlickrPhotowalk16 and then along comes #LondonFlickrPhotowalk17........
Taken earlier today on my way to the photowalk, I called by the Leadenhall Building in the City of London to see the 'Elysian Arcs' installation. This beguiling installation is formed of a number of inflatable forms made of an iridescent material that changes colour as the light changes. Well worth a visit if you can get to it before it disappears on March 15th.
For anyone interested, details of the next London Flickr photowalk will be announced soon so keep an eye on the www.flickr.com/groups/londonflickrgroup
From the City of London website, "Discover spectacular, rainbow-coloured arcs over 20ft-high at The Leadenhall Building, bringing joy to some of the darker months of the year.
Elysian Arcs will be situated at the foot of the iconic Leadenhall Building, affectionately known as The Cheesegrater. The installation will be open for all to experience from 10am-8pm daily until Friday 15th March.
The collection of ethereal arcs will be a striking contrast to the surrounding City architecture and will become even more impressive at dusk with internal lights bringing them to life. The ‘art-chitectural’ sculptures are made from a colour-reflecting dichroic film that reacts to changes in light, causing a rainbow of reflections and a unique picture from every angle. Elysian Arcs will also emit an ambient soundtrack, inviting people to move around and underneath the arcs, immersing themselves in this bubble-like environment.
Elysian Arcs is a free outdoor immersive light and sound installation created by award-winning design studio, Atelier Sisu. The Arcs have been commissioned by the Eastern City Business Improvement District (EC BID) and produced by FESTIVAL.ORG to help support the mental, physical and environmental wellbeing of workers in the City and across London, as part of the BID’s year-long RECHARGE 2024 campaign."
