Bigger Christmas Trees by David Hockney

Battersea Power Station, London

2023

Bringing hope and joy to Londoners.

Opened at Battersea Power Station, London. Bigger Christmas Trees presented a second collaboration as Projection Designers with world-renowned artist David Hockney after ‘David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller and further away)’, this time with a festive display projected onto the home of Apple’s new UK headquarters.

The show ran every evening from December 1st until Christmas Day, 5.00pm to 10.30pm on a ten minute loop, with a pair of Christmas trees, originally drawn on an iPad Pro, lighting up the London landmark’s two watchtowers on the building’s north facade.

★★★★★
It's an astonishing merging of technology and art. Not just in that it's a beautiful drawing, made on an iPad, but also that it's a wonderfully bright projection. At 100 metres high, it's a bright and grand tribute to the wonder of Hockney, Battersea Power Station (and the iPad), all in one.
