A red sail, a gathering of suspended fragments, a towering black wall. Walk beneath the first two acts, cross to the bridge viewpoint, and discover the gold and silver surfaces hidden on their reverse sides.

An independent, procedural interpretation of El Anatsui’s 2023–24 commission. Hall proportions follow published dimensions; draping, individual fragments and placement are approximations. The commissioned soundscape is not reproduced.
