Crossings

Crossings

Crossings was a site-specific all-night installation for Toronto’s Nuit Blanche, October 2, 2010. It projected huge figures onto the facets of the “Crystal” facade, Daniel Libeskind’s extension to the Royal Ontario Museum, which thousands of people took in as they wandered through the night.

Crossings is what we call a site-specifiable artwork – that is, one that can be rapidly and radically adapted to suit the space and context of a given site. It is especially suited for sites characterized by complex architecture and/or by multiple projections.

Created by Downie, Eshkar, and Kaiser.
