Wolfgang Buttress：“Liminal”是艺术家Wolfgang Buttress受J·M·W·特纳、Whistler和莫奈的泰晤士河画作启发而创作的一个雕塑装置。泰晤士河神秘而宽广，你不知道它的深度，也不知道它的起源以及它的历史，该设计就旨在表达一种你在观察泰晤士河流表面时是很难确切捕捉的飘渺感。

Wolfgang Buttress：Liminal is a sculptural installation by artist Wolfgang Buttress who was inspired by the paintings of the River Thames by J.M.W Turner, Whistler and Claude Monet. He aims to capture an ethereal quality that is rarely obtained when you look at the surface of the river. The River Thames is opaque and mysterious giving you no idea of its depth, what lives in it or its liquid history.

该装置艺术利用变幻莫测的万花筒格式框景，结合河流及其背景，创造出了一幅动人建筑画作，吸引公众驻足凝视河流。

装置中的各种镜子、缎面和哑光铝板模糊了平面画作和立体现实之间的界限，聚焦并改变了观众对河流的感知和体验。这个雕塑装置还可通过下载一个名为“Liminal”APP应用程序，连接其声纳浮标参与互动，通过雕塑立面的光和声音展现河流生机以及水流的实时动向。

The artwork encourages the public to look again and view the river through a mercurial and kaleidoscopic lens which creates an architectural painting of the river and its context.

The artwork blurs the boundaries between 2D and 3D through a variety of mirror, satin and matt aluminium panels that focus and alters viewers’ perception and experience of the river. The sculpture also includes a downloadable app called Liminal which is connected to a sonar buoy; this expresses the real time movement of river life and currents, sourced directly in front of the sculpture, as light and sound.

该装置由伦敦建筑节和伦敦金融城公司组织的设计竞赛选出，也是伦敦城市户外艺术项目“奇妙壮举：伦敦建筑”的一部分。位于泰特现代美术馆对面，千禧桥旁边。

创作者Wolfgang Buttress表示：“Liminal表达的是我对这条河的第一印象，以及河流下方的生命、神秘和动向。”

The installation is a result of a design competition organised by the London Festival of Architecture and the City of London Corporation and forms part of City’s outdoor arts programme, Fantastic Feats: the Building of London. It is sited opposite Tate Modern next to Millennium Bridge.

“Liminal expresses my first impressions of the river and suggests the life, mystery and activity that lies beneath it.” Wolfgang Buttress.
