Beyond the Deepening Shadow: The Tower Remembers

Download

© Licensed to London News Pictures. 04/11/2018. London, UK. A Yeoman Warder watches as thousands of individual flames illuminate the moat of The Tower of London in an installation entitled 'Beyond the Deepening Shadow: The Tower Remembers'. This public act of remembrance for the lives of the fallen, honouring their sacrifice will run for eight nights, leading up to and including the Centenary Armistice Day 2018. The evolving installation will unfold each evening over the course of four hours, with the Tower moat gradually illuminated by individual flames. A specially-commissioned sound installation 'a sonic exploration of the shifting tide of political alliances, friendship, love and loss in war' will be played. At the centre of the sound installation lies a new choral work, with words from war poet Mary Borden’s Sonnets to a Soldier. Photo credit: Peter Macdiarmid/LNP
