Island in a River
Permanent Exhibition, Yarm, England.
Holotronica were delighted to provide a bespoke Hologauze installation for the Island in a River exhibition created by Matthew Rosier at the refurbished Yarm Town Hall Heritage Centre in Stockton on Tees.
The Island in a River film was designed to be viewed from outside at night. Reflections of the river Tees are projected on to the Hologauze and float past the canoe, connecting river use past and present. The exhibition features a collection of local artefacts interpreted by ten films, created by the artist in collaboration with local residents. The objects are displayed inside the exhibition centrepiece – a replica iron age canoe, carved by local volunteers throughout summer 2023. The exhibition room is open to the public in the day time and so the installation was designed so that the Hologauze could be deployed each night for the Island in a River film to be shown. The transparency of Hologauze was perfect for the water and reflection and left the canoe and beyond fully visible.
The exhibition opened this summer and looks fantastic.
