Now That’s What I Call A Floater

Published: 4th October 2014

Lightning/ThunderThis is the stunning optical illusion that appears to make a much-loved London landmark, in one of the city’s busiest tourist districts, hover in mid-air.

Created by British artist Alex Chinneck and titled ‘Take my lightning but don’t steal my thunder’  the breath-taking installation will be on display until 24 October.

To onlookers, it looks as though a section of the historic market building in Covent Garden has actually broken free from its foundations and is floating unaided, high above them.

But in reality, the display, is a complicated piece of technical wizardry which took months to create.
