Building on the experience of making 'Play' with local pupils, the artists created a curved 60ft x 8ft panorama of the locale which incorporates the pupils' images on a monumental scale while keeping the emotion and movement of the playful situations originally explored.

Structure designed and installed by Pol Mclernon.

Installation sited at: Waldron Health Centre Piazza, on the corner of Douglas Way and Amersham Vale, New Cross,London SE14 6LD

About the Project

The year played host to economic crises, explosions of the nation state, and the continued process of the remapping of political representation, with seemingly discreet and local disturbances rising to the surface.  <1992> is conceived as an investigation of grassroots political and social organisations during a period of crisis, collisions and eruptions across the globe.   Concerned with the personal collective experience and taking 1992 as a locus, the project will elicit an understanding of the how the moments came to pass.

* Older People, memory and the Moving Image

The aim of the project is to collaborate with older people in producing a dynamic interactive exhibition of their memories and personal histories. The project will allow participants to share their experience with the wider community.   

The project also aims to introduce older people to new technologies in an easy, accessible and useable way.
