| A
festival finale where the Lord Mayor of Stockton on Tees lights a
blue touch paper and a 150 yard pyrotechnic fuse burns down the high
street. As it passes each street light a domestic appliance is exploded.
The fuse finally reaches the main square and the waiting structure,
a 50' horizontal wheel, with TV sets at the perimeter. With a loaded
down mini car at the hub the wheel slowly starts to rotate. |
|
The TV arms
rise up, the roof rack contents explode and as the TV's burn and
crash to the ground a flock of wind up doves are released from the
top of the structure along with many more pyrotechnics and the cheers
from the crowd.
Co-designed
with Tim Hunkin and David Clough Commissioned by Stockton Festival
in 1995.
