Installation at the Elephant and Castle

Mapping


From the 'drifting' exercises, walking about the area without any clear destination, or alternatively, by following a dice roll, where 1 or 2 indicates a left turn, 3 or 4 goes straight on, and 5 or 6 indicate turn right, I have noticed that there are some large areas of open space, but such areas tend to be entirely isolated from each other by large swathes of concrete and tarmac.


So it is difficult to see how the local residents see much wildlife, for all the green parkspace, it is largely sterile.

What would be the local reaction to an installation of some natural British wild animal into one of those spaces?

The large roundabout outside the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre would be as good as any other space; there is some cover and the central grassed hub is as large an area as most in the region. So there it is to be!
