Remembrance: CANCELLED

This installation has been vandalised beyond repair and was removed by the artist before its scheduled end date.

During November 2015 Wellington’s Appleton Park will be the site for the WW100 public artwork – Remembrance – created by international art and design collective Squidsoup. On display will be over 860 light poles that will bend and move in the wind, illuminating as they do so. Each pole represents a Wellingtonian who lost their life in the course of the Gallipoli campaign of World War 1 between April 25, 1915 – January 9, 1916. This interactive work invites the public to visit, commemorate, and remember the great suffering that was caused to many regions across New Zealand through the loss of so many of its young men and women.
