Paddy Molloy - Crossing Time

Crossing Time is an art installation by Paddy Molloy, commissioned by the House of Illustration. The installation, situated at Granary Square from 13 February to 10 March 2016, turns on from 6pm to 10pm.

The installation at 4 metres employs a level of interaction as the sun goes down. The installation is motion-activated as it changes the sequence of images as a person passes by it. The installation displays dramatic images, which the sequence is unique to each interaction.

The installation takes inspiration from King's Cross, it's history and landscape, especially of the King's Cross monument. The monument was built in 1830, and contained a camera obscure that viewed the ever-changing landscape of King's Cross. This work is a reference to that as it casts a new "eye" on the landscape.
