"Big Ben Lying Down with Political Books"
Creator Minujín said "the world is always changing - the UK is now living through covid and Brexit - things are never 'straight', we need to be able to adapt and be flexible with our ideas" and at this years Manchester International Festival, we helped to achieve this goal with this awesome project.
The leaning 42 metre structure, lit up by us, of London's iconic Big Ben Clock Tower is covered in 20,000 donated books that have shaped British politics and will influence the future of Britain. Not only that, but the film created by Minujín will be shown on KeyTeq screens inside the artwork too!
From Thomas Pain to [our very own] Marcus Rashford the reading list tells such amazing stories - go and see for yourself at the Manchester International Festival taking place until 18th July. You could even grab one of those books for yourself at the redistribution!
