2022
1.3 Seconds - Guillaume Marmin - UK Premier
As part of Right Up Our Street’s 10th Anniversary, we delivered festival activity across two venues, The Minster and The Corn Exchange.
1.3 Seconds featured in The Minster.
“With the space travel theme in mind, the installation by Guillaume Marmin gets its name from the time it takes for light to travel from the earth to the moon at a velocity of 300 000km/s. Originally inspired by the church’s columns, stained glass windows and overall gothic style, visitors are given glimpses of the architectural details as lights flash and illuminate the grand space of the Minster.”
WE RISE - Greenaway & Greenaway
WE RISE was projected onto the Corn Exchange.
Greenaway & Greenaway created a spectacle that was commissioned by Right Up Our Street for the Doncaster Festival of Light artwork to be projected on the Corn Exchange. This piece is about telling the story of Doncaster through the eyes of the people, creating a unique film.

The centrepiece of the 2019 DN Festival was a specially commissioned audio-visual piece called ‘Tectonic’, bespoke to Doncaster Minster that uses 3-D mapping and projection techniques.
