Unusual Rigging

As if putting a scaffolding paddlesteamer or stage in an ornamental lake wasn’t enough! We were commissioned by Steve Manthorp to create a projection screen 45m wide by 25m high which covered the front façade of Bradford city library. Working with projectionists from Lumen we designed and erected a system which not only was safe to erect but also could withstand the very high windspeeds. This was used to project ‘I’ by artist Shanaz Gulzar.

The same screen was then reused to project onto the listed Leeds Lifting Tower on Light Night. The result was ‘Textus’ by artist Peter Coates.
