15-ton “upside-down” sculpture in London

In Alex Chinneck’s latest installation, “A Bullet from a Shooting Star”, shows a 15-ton pylon dropped upside down.

The massive piece, created for the London Design Festival, is the artists biggest challenge to date and was a large collaborative effort. To create the piece, Chinneck used 450 pieces of steel with 900 engineered connection points. Fabricators and engineers helped to create this sculpture, which stands at over 50 feet and can be seen from all planes that arrive and depart from City Airport.
