Alchemy: an installation at the Bank of England Museum - Paul Ferguson - 05-12-2026
"Alchemy is a temporary, immersive installation at the Bank of England Museum created by Melek Zeynep Studio for the London Festival of Architecture. Rooted in the ancient ideas of alchemy, the work explores belonging as a process of transformation, connection, and shared presence rather than a fixed state."
When: 15 June to 3 July 2026
"Alchemy is often associated with the Philosopher’s Stone, a legendary substance believed to transform matter and reveal hidden knowledge. In this project, the Philosopher’s Stone is reimagined not as an object, but as an experience. The installation responds to the movements, voices, and bodies of visitors, turning individual presence into something collective. As people move through the space, reflections shift, sounds change, and the environment is subtly altered. Belonging emerges through participation, through being seen, heard, and reflected back by the space and by others within it."
