More than 7,000 white floor tiles have been laid across the Duveens and encase a series of large sculptures that serve as podiums for a number of works of art from Tate's collection, chosen by Hamilton for their organic forms and colours. The tiles create an immersive new environment within the neoclassical galleries.
Each day, the show focuses on a single character, dressed in one of seven colourful Loewe costumes inspired by the colours and shapes of squashes and pumpkins. The clothes also feature voluminous sleeves, bold patterns and legume-style headwear. Each performer selects a costume that reflects their presentation of that day's characters as they move around the space.
