It is built upon a modified BMX track, which remains open, and the landscape is in the process of being planted with wildflowers and grasses that reflect the local Chilterns landscape. It continues to be looked after by local volunteers, school groups and the Luton Henge Collective. In 2025 the community came together to help construct Luton Henge, from building benches to hammering chalk into the ground, contributing over 1,000 collective hours, and culminating in a folk festival to open the space. The Henge connects today’s Lutonians with their predecessors – those who came together thousands of years ago to create Waulud’s Bank – a giant neolithic earthwork situated adjacent to the site. Dating back to 3000 BC, Waulud’s Bank marks the source of the River Lea – its ‘five springs’ bubble up from underground.

Matthew worked with the Maltings to introduce the project to the town, inviting dozens of local groups to participate – from cold water swimmers and prize winning sheep to dock workers and schools. The three-night event at Berwick Barracks was accompanied by live music, transforming its historic courtyard into a celebratory public space for the town, attended by over 2,000 people. Matthew worked with choreographer Chloe Sayers and videographer Carl Joyce, to film participants processing in front of a mini version of the Barracks over a series of filming days, and then edited these together to form the 30 minute parade. The resulting projected parade of giants was a joyful celebration of the many identities that form a community, platforming those who may not ordinarily be able to participate in a physical parade such as school children and the elderly, and those with access needs.More information <img width="2000" height="2500" width_o="2000" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ad8dc61b0084d7319bb0ba0d509e58a0b0e3765819651061bd73289a6eb64308/PORTRAIT-2.jpg" data-mid="243619961" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ad8dc61b0084d7319bb0ba0d509e58a0b0e3765819651061bd73289a6eb64308/PORTRAIT-2.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="2500" width_o="2000" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8c2b02c62833e64e11ed6d7065f5f1f4c5d427e6fcf4c12b4279f9b82d4c1762/PORTRAIT.jpg" data-mid="243619960" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8c2b02c62833e64e11ed6d7065f5f1f4c5d427e6fcf4c12b4279f9b82d4c1762/PORTRAIT.jpg" /> <img width="2000" height="2500" width_o="2000" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/40654ff03a874a5c8dc5186aad86ad8bcf2efbbf8f51dccc0a9b1888164235a7/PORTRAIT-3.jpg" data-mid="243619962" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/40654ff03a874a5c8dc5186aad86ad8bcf2efbbf8f51dccc0a9b1888164235a7/PORTRAIT-3.jpg" /> https://matthewrosier.com/CITY-OF-TREES-VIDEO Thu, 08 Jan 2026 13:31:00 +0000 Matthew Rosier https://matthewrosier.com/CITY-OF-TREES-VIDEO CITY OF TREES PUBLIC ARTWORK 2022 https://matthewrosier.com/CITY-OF-TREES-TEXT-NEW Thu, 15 Jan 2026 12:44:47 +0000 Matthew Rosier https://matthewrosier.com/CITY-OF-TREES-TEXT-NEW A public installation and film series that memorialised the historic relationship between Londoners and Epping Forest. Through an immersive installation comprising large-scale video projection, soundscape, music and wooden structures, the work conjured ancient trees and rituals of Epping Forest within the heart of the City of London. In Autumn 2021 life-size video portraits of Oak, Beech and Hornbeam pollards from Epping were projected onto St Mary Aldermary Church in the City accompanied by an immersive soundscape by James Bulley and original musical score for each by NYX and Laura Misch, recorded in Epping Forest, and benches formed from two halves of a recently felled oak from Epping. In 2022 the work toured as a holographic series of projections with live performances by Laura Misch and NYX.

UKLuton Henge is a new stone circle and community gathering space comprising eight chalk standing stones sourced from the ancient Totternhoe Quarry, a chalk circle and pathway, and eight charred wooden benches. It is built upon a modified BMX track, which remains open, and the landscape is in the process of being planted with wildflowers and grasses that reflect the local Chilterns landscape. It continues to be looked after by local volunteers, school groups and the Luton Henge Collective. In 2025 the community came together to help construct Luton Henge, from building benches to hammering chalk into the ground, contributing over 1,000 collective hours, and culminating in a folk festival to open the space. The Henge connects today’s Lutonians with their predecessors – those who came together thousands of years ago to create Waulud’s Bank – a giant neolithic earthwork situated adjacent to the site. Dating back to 3000 BC, Waulud’s Bank marks the source of the River Lea – its ‘five springs’ bubble up from underground.The project was led by Matthew Rosier and commissioned by Chilterns National Landscape as part of the national Nature Calling programme. It was produced by Marsh Farm-based Revoluton Arts, Lucy Wood and Activate Performing Arts, with the support of Marsh Farm Outreach. The construction of the Henge was led and facilitated by architecture studio Common Practice, with Farren Contractors, the artist team and the people of Luton.
