Projected moving figures on the pavement outside the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London. The figures actually seem to respond. They beckon you or 'wake up' as you approach them, then retreat, retire, or go back to sleep as you walk away. The pre-recorded films react in various random ways to passers-by picked up by sensors criss-crossing the concourse.


Raphael Lozano-Hemmer is one of the Big Art Project artists and is to develop a new public artwork for Prince Charles Quay in Cardigan.

Now with real hair!

It's the morning after Hallowe'en and one of the nymphs on Leeds City Square seems to have been fitted with a witch's wig in the wee hours!

Rainbow's end in Hemel Hempstead

No pot of gold though!

The sculpture was commissioned to symbolise the optimism and aspirations of the first people to settle in the new town after WWII

Pitch invasion

Under the gaze of Future System's prize-winning Media Centre structure, a glittering, amorphous but rather leggy-looking sculpture invades the sacred turf of Lords Cricket ground during the 2008 Scope International Contemporary Art Fair in London.

Archbishop Makarios III

Archbishop Makarios was elected the first president of the Cyprus Republic a few months before independence from the British in 1960 (he had earlier been deported by the British for refusing to condemn the violent anti-colonial campaign). A plan to move the national leader's statue from the Archbishop's Palace (in the background) in Nicosia to a higher mountaintop setting has caused upset in the still divided city, and the statue has been subject to a paint attack which the authorities have done their best to conceal before its removal (but I got my mobile in under the tarpaulin!).

monastery mosaic, Cyprus

The village of Mosfiloti existed in the Mediaeval times and was constructed around the monastery of Agia Thekla, established by Saint Helen in 330 AD. Under the monastery ran a spring with holy water used by the faithful to heal skin diseases and cases of eczema. The monastery was recently renovated and re-established by two sisters (biological and religious) from Nicosia and is open to the public. One of the sisters, Mother Superior Constantia, is an accomplished icon painter.
