Gods Own Junkyard and Leadenhall Market have announced an epic collaboration – Electric City. A immersive exhibition spread across multiple units and installations will showcase their work in film over the last four decades.
The Braceys, owners of God’s Own Junkyard, started by making neon signs for Bladerunner, after which they produced neon for Mona Lisa, Batman, The Dark Knight, Eyes Wide Shut, Interview with a Vampire, Casino Royalle, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and many more.
Some of the archive works that will be on display include Greenwich Village signs recreated for Pinewood studios for Eyes Wide Shut. It took a total of two years to film and Chris and Marcus Bracey were on-set for the entire period. Fun fact: Kubrick didn’t use any additional lighting apart from what was on set which was discussed after filming with Chris and Marcus over Indian takeaways.
None of the movie signs will be available to buy but there will be a selection of pieces to buy online if you want some neon in your life.
Genuinely cannot wait to see how creative everyone gets with the signs!
