Bubbles on the Lake

Strongly inspired by “The Rover” from the 1967 British television programme The Prisoner, the initial concept for the installation involved using white monochrome weather balloons.

In the series, “The Rover” was a crucial tool employed to prevent prisoners from escaping the Village. It was depicted as a floating white balloon capable of coercing, incapacitating, or even killing defiant inhabitants, and it also had the ability to subdivide.

In 2021, twenty-five latex balloons were set onto Southmere Lake as part of Guerilla Art Installations, and again featured at the Thamesmead Festival in 2022, London, UK.

The same installation was also commissioned by The Royal Docks in October 2021. London, UK.
