Description

Crossing Time is a four-metre-high interactive installation by artist Paddy Molloy. For 27 days, starting on Saturday 13 February, the installation will come to life as the sun goes down on Granary Square.

The multi-layered structure is transformed by a dramatic play of images and icons, inspired by the history and imagery of King’s Cross. Motion-activated sensors trigger changes in the sequence of images as people pass by, making each interaction unique.
About the work

Molloy is inspired by the history and landscape of King’s Cross. In particular, by King’s Cross monument, built in 1830, which housed a camera obscura that cast its eye on the period of rapid industrial development. Crossing Time is a new ‘eye’ on the landscape, where the historic and structural references, together with images of the site today, are translated into icons and textures and projected onto the structure. The artwork was commissioned by House of Illustration.
