Each night, the garage door of an abandoned building in Liverpool slowly rises, an intense blue light pouring from the cracks. Soon, empty streets are bathed in aquamarine, and the abandoned building reveals its mysterious secret: a giant glowing tank full of jellyfish.
The otherworldly installation is a piece from British artists Walter Hugo and Zoniel, titled "The Physical Possibility of Inspiring Imagination in the Mind of Somebody Living (whew), which is intended to be a parody of a similar work titled "Thy Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" by Damien Hirst.
While the actual installation is located on High Street in Liverpool, a live feed of the nocturnal art project can be seen in London's Gazelli Art House, where a larger selection Hugo and Zoniel's is currently on display.
“The enlarged visions of jellyfish can be seen floating through the London night, linking the two cities,” reads the artists’ statement. “If you look closely, you can often see cars go by and observers from street in Toxteth gazing back at you through the installation.”
