Embark on a transformative journey through the unexpected with “SQUIGGLE” by NEON, an immersive art installation that reimagines the use of space and materials. Presented at Citypoint from June to September 2024, this work is part of the London Festival of Architecture (LFA).

Inspiration and concept

Inspired by the non-linear reality of life, “SQUIGGLE” symbolizes the winding paths we take. Unlike the direct plans we envision, our journeys are often irregular and unpredictable, offering opportunities for learning and growth.

Structure and interaction

The installation consists of three repetitive modules covered with flexible PVC conduits commonly used in construction. Arranged to encourage interaction, visitors can sit, walk, and lie on the artwork, creating a unique immersive experience. “SQUIGGLE” is part of the London Festival of Architecture, an annual celebration of architecture and urban creation that takes place throughout June.

WaterAid, in partnership with the Wimbledon Foundation, has created a tennis court mosaic to raise awareness about access to clean water. The artwork, made from tennis equipment, depicts a child and his mother from Madagascar who now have access to clean water thanks to this initiative.

Mosaic from tennis balls for this caricature work

The Wimbledon Foundation has been supporting WaterAid since 2017, aiming to improve water and hygiene access in several countries. The event highlights the importance of clean water, often taken for granted but lacking for millions of people. Ahead of Wimbledon, Slazenger delivered more than 55,000 balls for the event, which now runs until July 14. The balls are sold for charitable purposes, benefiting the Wimbledon Foundation and local organisations. Additionally, Slazenger, in collaboration with the Wimbledon Foundation and WaterAid, created a mosaic from donated tennis balls to highlight global water access initiatives. The materials used for the mosaic will be donated to local charities, reinforcing the Wimbledon Foundation’s community commitment.
