— About Christo and Jeanne-Claude, The London Mastaba
The London Mastaba is a temporary, floating sculpture consisting of 7,506 barrels,
stacked horizontally on a floating platform. Situated on The Serpentine Lake in
London’s Hyde Park, the work is the largest public work by Christo ever presented in
the UK, and can be experienced in virtual reality and 360° video through the Acute
Art app, or with a VR headset through Steam and HTC Viveport,
The London Mastaba stands at 20 metres in height, with blue, mauve and red
barrels forming slanted walls that rise from a platform measuring 30 x 40 metres.
Acute Art allows viewers to soar above it in virtual space at a height of 30 metres,
revealing the work at different times of the day, from sunrise to sunset. Viewers can
also explore the surrounding park, walk across The Serpentine Lake, and even climb
to the top of Christo’s work.
Visitors to The Serpentine Galleries can experience Acute Art’s production through
The Serpentine Mobile Tours, which offer visitors the opportunity to discover more
about the accompanying exhibition, and encounter Christo’s work in a new way.
Designed to ensure no ecological damage is caused to the lake or its surroundings,
The London Mastaba is a temporary installation, and will be removed and recycled
after 23 September 2018.
