There was a mirror ball heart sculpture thing at Snow Hill Square from the 21st to 23rd March 2024. Lit up between 6:30pm and 10:30pm each evening. On the final evening was a silent disco. Bit hard to photograph after dark with it spinning, especially in zoom in. Wasn't there for long. Train in to see it, then train out back home.

Our Beating Heart at Snow Hill Station Square


Our Beating Heart at Snow Hill Station Square


There was a mirror ball heart sculpture thing at Snow Hill Square from the 21st to 23rd March 2024. Lit up between 6:30pm and 10:30pm each evening. On the final evening was a silent disco. Bit hard to photograph after dark with it spinning, especially in zoom in. Wasn't there for long. Train in to see it, then train out back home.


The free pop-up artwork is called Our Beating Heart was created by Studio Vertigo. A Mirror ball installation lit up Birmingham city centre from Thursday 21st to Saturday 23rd March 2024, between 6:30pm and 10:30pm each night. Located in Snow Hill Station Square, outside of the Colmore Row entrance to Birmingham Snow Hill Station, and between 1 and 9 Colmore Row.

 

Lunchtime on Thursday 21st March 2024, a quick look at Our Beating Heart by Studio Vertigo. I popped out from work to get my lunch at Sainsbury's Local, then took a quick few shots on my phone camera.

A couple of crops of the above photos, wasn't sure if I was going to see it after dark, well not on the first two evenings. And missed an event on the launch evening (Jack Babington and Damien Walmsley got some photos that evening).

A last minute decision on Saturday evening of the 23rd March 2024, to get the train up to Birmingham Snow Hill to see Our Beating Heart. Wasn't there for long, just to get the photos below. Found it a bit hard to focus on the mirror ball heart. Walked around twice. There was a silent disco going on at the time, they had headphones on. With limited trains on the line, I headed back into the station to get a train home. These were around 7:45pm in the evening. They were playing music by the Pet Shop Boys.
