About
As part of Light Up Wakefield 2025, WX welcomes Heinrich & Palmer’s light installation Ships of Gods.
The breathtaking artwork is inspired by the Norse myth of Skidbladnir, a magical shape-shifting vessel which was large enough to carry all the gods and their equipment yet could be folded up small enough to fit inside a pocket.
Anna Heinrich and Leon Palmer are two British artists who have worked in collaboration since the 1990s. They have a broad, cross disciplinary practice which encompasses installations, interventions, large scale projection events, films and photography.
They work with digital media, projection, light, optics and photography and frequently combine ephemeral media with physical materials and structures to suggest alternative or ambiguous meanings.
Many of their projects evolve through a process of research, engagement or collaboration with people from other disciplines such as architects, engineers, programmers and fabricators.
