An Upside-Down Electric Tower Grows in London
That doesn’t look safe.
If an angry colossus were to pick up a 115-foot-tall electric tower and spike it into the ground lawn-dart style, you’d have the newest piece of large-scale public art planned for London.
“A Bullet from a Shooting Star” will rise this September in Greenwich Peninsula as part of the annual London Design Festival. British artist Alex Chinneck is making the topsy-turvy pylon—and he’s got the skills for it, considering his last illusion also involved an upside-down object (in that case a Corsa hatchback).
