Lift & Slide

By &a&k (London, UK)

Lift & Slide is a sculptural exploration of Michael Jackson’s infamous moonwalk. Proposed for the site of the O2 arena in London, it is formed of two parallel forms representing the definitive foot movements of the moonwalk.

Positioned at the end of a 50ft walkway dubbed ‘Moonwalk Way’, Lift & Slide is symbolic of Michael Jackson’s 50 years of life and the 50 shows he was due to perform there. Shimmering in the daylight, Lift & Slide illuminates at night to evoke the spectacle of performance.
