Flock, An Interactive Swan Lake

Flock, inspired by Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, is a large-scale public installation that premiered in Trafalgar Square in 2007.

As the general public step into Flock they immediately realise that the seemingly innocent space is actually enchanted. The pavement is primed so that the moment a person steps into the space it will react. The technology detects a person's presence and allocates each participant their own personal spotlight. Following the light they cast, each participant reveals a series of ghostly projections. These take participants on a journey through the real physical space and also the emotional narrative of the ghostly swan world.
