Project: Rolls-Royce Art Commission
Client: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Title: Acceleration Structures
Year: 2018—2019
Location: Global
“Dan Holdsworth’s work is truly exhilarating. He adopts a scientific and high-tech approach whilst adhering to a personal dedication in creating astonishingly precise and arresting artwork. In the end, you have a resoundingly powerful and awe-inspiring work, which can be admired for its aesthetic as much as for its endeavour. In this I find great synergy and I am thrilled to welcome him to the fellows of the Rolls-Royce Art Programme.”
Torsten Müller-Ötvös
— Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
In a sequence of three films depicting the majesty and fragility of three Alpine glaciers, Argentière, Bossons, and Bionnassay, Holdsworth’s work guides us through the intricate geography of these regions using new geomapping technologies.
Combining the latest in pioneering technology and the complex beauty of topography, Holdsworth has created an artform, taking the viewer on a journey through the glacier itself.
‘Acceleration Structures’ was created by working both with high-end software and academic geographers. Holdsworth spent weeks based in an alpine village, each day hiking into glacial regions laden with camera equipment and a drone camera.
