Royal Route Underpass, Mixed digital media, 2019
Conceived by internationally renowned artist and designer Jason Bruges, Shadow Wall is a site-specific monochromatic, interactive media artwork focused on the eastern elevation of the Royal Route underpass, where the shadows and silhouettes of the crowds passing through the space generate the resultant artwork. The canvas is light sensitive and with a multitude of shadows overlaying creates a palimpsest effect on the surface. The slotted metallic facade references the ebb and flow of the crowds entering and departing Wembley Park, which is reminiscent of the way in which the royal family arrived in procession.
