Installing METABOLON
METABOLON and Aegis are large pieces of work!
The fragile nature of materials and textiles used in the work means that each piece has to be reconstructed from the basic repeating units, each carefully stored and transported from site to site.
Installation took a team of four to five people, two days onsite to build, rig and wire up. You can see a time lapse of the METABOLON install at Sheffield Cathedral below. It's a team effort, with everyone pitching in.
Rigging Aegis has seen the team up large ladders and cherry pickers, and going on rigging courses to understand the safety at work principles of rigging at height.
