Cadw invites you to explore sites from a new perspective

RELICS is a multifaceted contemporary art project based around a series of uniquely engaging, publicly accessible, site-specific art installations of the Photosphere medium developed and delivered by the visual artist Matt Wright.

From these high-resolution images, the artist has created a number of spherical photographic sculptures that are subsequently installed back at their exact point of capture within the environments they document.

These reinstallations create a unique symbiotic disharmony between the recorded and the real, challenging the viewer’s visual perception, and in doing so ultimately offer an unexpected perspective to reflect upon.

Throughout July and August eight photospherical sculptures will appear at a select number of Cadw sites. The spheres will appear at Raglan Castle, Tintern Abbey, Blaenavon Ironworks, Pentre Ifan, Castell y Bere, Valle Crucis Abbey, Caernarfon Castle, and Din Lligwy Hut Group on Anglesey.

Visitors will see images of different views from the site they are visiting on the huge spheres to add new perspectives and enhance their experience.
