.1520: Lazerian's Sculptural Tribute to Breakdancing at Selfridges Lazerian innovative workshop introduces 1520, a sculptural item by Liam Hopkins and Daren Newman, component of the Sportopia project commemorating breakdancing's Olympic debut. Showcased at Selfridges Manchester, the sculpture is actually influenced by the action as well as energy of breakdancing, and also features a bird type with heavenly wings, standing for the fluidness as well as spontaneousness of the dancing. Fastened through a manhole-like base, the sculpture mirrors the metropolitan roots of breakdancing, connecting the roads of New York Urban Area and Manchester. Brass jet-like bars increase from the foundation, exemplifying compelling power as well as onward momentum, supporting the avian form.
