Duratran lightboxes
Chelmsford Magistrates Court, Chelmsford. Completed January 2012
Lore of the Land is a series of large illusory photographic lightboxes installed on the ground and first floors of Chelmsford’s new Magistrates Court. The illusions suggest a series of architectural inlets which look out onto a semi-fictional landscape. This landscape has been selected and shaped to visually work with the actual architecture. Our intention was to create an alternative view to the expected architecture of the Court buildings and its environs.
The project was developed in collaboration with the architects Aedas, the contractor Galliford Try, HMCS community and Chelmsford Borough Council.
