One of Leeds’ most iconic buildings will be transformed to showcase a love-at-first-sight animated graphic novel during Light Night Leeds later this month.
One Second Lovestory will be projected onto The Queens Hotel as one of the key displays on October 22 and 23.
The artwork tells the story of two people whose daily routine is interrupted as their eyes meet at a train station in the form of a graphic novel on an impressive scale.
Set in a busy station in the morning with people rushing past with their eyes glued to the floor, the piece by German artist Dirk Rauscher highlights what can happen when you look up.
Adjacent to Leeds train station and projected onto The Queens Hotel, the enchanting animation celebrates 200 years of the modern passenger railway and is sponsored by Markel.
This year’s theme of Landmarks will celebrate some of the city’s historic buildings, modern architecture and iconic public spaces whilst asking visitors to contemplate their own personal landmarks and the places that are important to them.
One Second Lovestory will be shown between 6.45pm and 10pm on both evenings.
Light Night Leeds works with venues and outdoor spaces all over the city with artworks including other large-scale projections, light sculptures, street performances and interactive pieces by international, national and Yorkshire-based artists.
Light Night Leeds 2025 takes place across the city on October 22 and 23 from 6pm to 10pm.
