A Hollow Body
Unravel a Sherlockian mystery through the streets of London.
A Hollow Body
‘You see, but you do not observe’
Sherlock Holmes to Dr Watson, A Scandal in Bohemia, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Created in partnership with collaborative art collective, Circumstance, A Hollow Body is an interactive mobile app with an evocative music score and narration that guides two people on an atmospheric audio tour through the City of London’s streets and narrow alleys.
Designed to be experienced in pairs – much like Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson move through the city in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories - the narration encourages you to observe the city, its inhabitants and buildings and to peel back its complex layers and stories.
