From Millennium Bridge to Barbican are giant gold words arranged in a trail. The words form a quote from author Virginia Woolf from her book "Jacob's Room", and it is about London: "What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?". The commission is titled "Around the Corner" and is brought to the area by Culture Mile. The giant words are constructed with a 1920s typeface to mimic the publication date of the book (1922). There are twelve words and punctuation to discover with a map on each word showing the location of the next. The artwork was created by Karsten Huneck and Bernd Truempler from KHBT.
I enjoyed locating the words on the trail and saw others doing the same.
Half the way through the trail are also a group of gold fairies sitting on swings.
"Around the Corner" is in place until the end of April, and the trail can be walked in 15 minutes between Millennium Bridge and Barbican.
