Proud Little Pyramid

A commission for Argent LLP, using the recycled structure of the previous year’s giant Kings Cross Christmas tree to create a monumental anti-monument whose shape embodies urban grandiosity, but whose decoration drags that monumentality into being a fabulous performance of exuberant queerness that references the architectural history of King’s Cross, as well as its history of being a place of free expression, kinship and pleasure for the city as a whole from the Panarmonion Pleasure Gardens in the early 19C, to its central place in the history of Queer London from the 80s until the early 2000s
