Expo showcases creative displays at Heathrow’s terminals. It aims to provide inspiring and thought provoking content, celebrating the best of the UK and reflecting London’s position as a responsible global citizen.
‘Flame of the Spirit’ is inspired by the symbols of the ancient and modern Olympic Games. According to Gilmour, the objective behind the art is to celebrate the ‘diversity and inner beauty of mankind’. Gilmour took several months to complete plaster and glass-fiber installation weighing 120kg.
BAA is the owner and operator of seven British airports and the operator of several other airports worldwide, making the company one of the largest transport companies in the world. The Expo is intended to facilitate a unique way of connecting and interacting with a valuable, influential and international audience at Heathrow. Some Expo spaces are allocated footprints in T5, both before and after security. Other installations may be more integrated into the terminals to create a multi-touch point experience.
