Performance 19th November 5pm and 7pm – free

Desire Lines in collaboration with artist Nathaniel Rackowe for the Winter Light Festival at The Southbank, London.
Desire Lines is a sculptural installation originally conceived by artist collaborator Nathaniel Rackowe for The Winter Light Festival, Southbank Centre. It will be on show until February 2025. In response we have created a performance work to be shown on 19th November.
The title refers to a term more commonly used to describe alternative pathways and routes through space, and the worn trace of footsteps that gives them away.
Desire Lines explores the intersection of nature with the urban. It consists of nine cubes of light placed within nine trees along the riverbank. A light sequence flows across all nine trees to create a single dynamic installation. This horizontal flow echoes the movement of people and the dancers, a sense of journey that exploits an interaction with the space and with the public.
Join us by the trees next to Hungerford Bridge (leading from Embankment to Southbank).
