Luke Jerram:
Crossings

About the
exhibition

Row out onto the lake at Compton Verney whilst listening to some incredible stories from around the world. Transport yourself into the world of the story tellers through a 30 minute audio journey to another life; another circumstance.

The live sounds of the rowing boats will blend with the recorded audio, to help create a truly engaging and immersive experience.

Crossings was created by Luke Jerram in collaboration with BBC Radio 4 producer Julian May. Luke Jerram is an internationally renowned UK artist, specialising in sculpture and installations that inspire and enthrall audiences. He is perhaps best known for his works GAIA, MOON and Floating Earth, which have appeared in various, site specific locations around the country.

“Being on a boat that’s moving through the water, it’s so clear. Everything falls into place in terms of what’s important and what’s not.” James Taylor

“We are imprisoned in the realm of life, like a sailor on his tiny boat, on an infinite ocean.” Anna Freud
