Those passing through London\u2019s Covent Garden are about to see the iconic market building in an entirely new light. In the same spirit as her monumental outdoor\u00a0takeover of Tate Britain\u2019s facade in 2020, British artist Chila Burman\u2019s bold new multi-part installation, Do you see words in rainbows\u00a0celebrates love and identity...

As well as lifting moods with vast light sculptures, bold colours and optimistic messages, the installation will also offer tangible support to the LGBTQI+ community, following the recent cancellation of Pride London 2021 due to Covid-19. For every Instagram post snapped underneath the neon wonderland, Covent Garden will donate £1 to the Albert Kennedy Trust, a youth homelessness charity.

Wallpaper*: What appealed to you about the idea of creating a piece for Covent Garden’s historic Market Building?Initially it was my connection to Covent Garden that appealed. Since moving to London in the 1980s I’ve been drawn to the area; I attended the Slade nearby, would swim every morning at the Oasis Sports Centre, and have always loved its vibe. From the entertainers on the streets to the fantastic shops and restaurants, Covent Garden has always retained a sense of magic for me.
