This spring, Battersea Power Station will welcome two new captivating public art installations by award-winning filmmaker and multimedia artist, Charlotte Colbert, in partnership with public art and cultural placemaking agency, New Public, as part of the riverside destination’s Spring/Summer 2025 fashion and beauty campaign ‘Radiant Reflections’ and London Craft Week. From 23^rd April until 1^st June 2025, two of Colbert’s large-scale sculptural pieces – ‘Dreamland Sirens’ and ‘Where Angels Live’ – will take pride of place within the Grade II* listed building’s historic turbine halls, forming ‘Chasing Rainbows’, which explores dreams, imagination, hope and how to create a future of collective inclusivity.

‘Chasing Rainbows’ is presented as part of the second edition of ‘Modern Masters’ – a free, accessible series of contemporary artworks established in partnership with New Public for London Craft Week in 2024. Colbert’s sculptures invite the public to engage with contemporary works at the intersection of imagination and craft. ‘Dreamland Sirens’, located on the Ground Floor of Turbine Hall A, is a dual-coloured eye sculpture supported by a column of tears, with a reflective stainless-steel finish. The sculpture draws inspiration from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and invites viewers to reconnect with their inner dreamer, reflecting on the collective power of imagination in shaping the world around us.

On the Ground Floor of Turbine Hall B, visitors will discover ‘Where Angels Live’, a polished steel tree adorned with votive objects. This piece, inspired by Colbert’s travels through Mexico and her pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago, serves as a meditation on the healing power of belief, and the beauty of cultural traditions.

Complementing the awe-inspiring ‘Dreamland Sirens’ sculpture will be an exclusive Charlotte Colbert pop-up shop open between 9th – 18th May, which will offer visitors to Battersea Power Station the chance to purchase a range of items designed by the artist, including fashion, accessories, homeware and more.

Across two weekends, 9th – 11th May and 17th – 18th May, those shopping the extensive mix of British and international brands now open at Battersea Power Station will also have the opportunity to inject some colour and add a unique touch to their new season fashion and homeware items with a Colbert-designed patch of their choice, completely free-of-charge, at the pop-up store’s customisation station.

Both art installations and the pop-up form part of Battersea Power Station’s ‘Radiant Reflections’ campaign for Spring/Summer 2025, which focuses on promoting body positivity and encouraging shoppers to look within and celebrate their reflections. More details on further activations that will be available to visitors to Battersea Power Station as part of Radiant Reflections will be announced shortly.

Kate Boothman-Meier, Head of Communications & Marketing at Battersea Power Station Development Company, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Charlotte Colbert and her extraordinary installations to Battersea Power Station this spring, in partnership with New Public and London Craft Week, in the year that Wandsworth has been named London Borough of Culture. Complemented by the pop-up Charlotte Colbert shop and customisation station, the partnership is a celebration of public artwork and craftmanship. It is also an opportunity for us to offer a unique experience to our visitors and for shoppers to take home a bespoke keepsake when they visit us in May.”

Charlotte Colbert said:
“We can look to the surreal to help us see the world more clearly. I’m looking forward to showing two of my large-scale sculptures in the wonderfully iconic Battersea Power Station. Like much of my practice, they are in dialogue with fairy tales and dreams. We live in imagined structures -everything around us was imagined by someone before, from the streets we walk on to the clothes we wear. In a time when dreaming is often dismissed as superfluous or frivolous, it’s important to remember that imagination is actually essential. What we dream and imagine today becomes tomorrow’s reality. And as such, we all have the power to reimagine everything differently – the future is malleable.”
