This touring exhibition chronicled the story of electricity from the discovery of static electricity, through to self-sustaining cities, thematically exploring society’s fascination with this phenomena and its inextricable connection to life and death. Three pavilions within the exhibition showcased large-scale artworks.

Our design, inspired by the international network of electrical grids, is a series of shifting pylon structures that transform from freestanding individual tables, to vertical towers supporting a network of lighting grids and finally to simplified outlines of a utopian cityscape. An adapting palette of materials takes the visitor on a journey through landscapes of academia, industry and consumerism.
