SWITCHED ON LONDON FESTIVAL 2008

Location

London Bridge, London

Year

2008

A temporary installation of autonomous lights, which silently watched for pedestrians as they crossed London Bridge.

On the pavement where people usually leave only footprints, for the duration of the festival they left coloured light ‘shadows’ as evidence of their passing. The intent was to reawaken commuters, encouraging them to be aware once more of the joys of crossing the Thames on their way to work.
