Gaia, Planet Earth, comes to Teddington
This utterly extraordinary suspended art installation measures seven metres in diameter and features detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface. For a few weeks it was at Teddington’s Landmark Arts Centre in west London, and the venue could hardly have been more fitting: the Landmark was once a cathedral-sized Gothic church and its vast interior space is perfect for an installation like this.
In Greek mythology, Gaia is the personification of the Earth. The slowly revolving installation was created by Luke Jerram, a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, in partnership with the National Environment Research Council and the UK Association of Science and Discovery.
