Guardians of the North work on Lancashire’s rich myths and legends. Each dragon, perched atop medieval-style turrets, rises up to 7 metres.
Through a blend of advanced digital technology and classic Illuminations artistry, the dragons come alive: blinking, snarling, breathing smoke and enter into a dynamic dialogue with the iconic Blackpool Tower projection.
Visitors are invited to become part of the artwork itself: by scanning a QR code, they can select a dragon and watch it move across the surface of Blackpool Tower in a mystical projection, extending the narrative beyond the physical sculptures.
