Tim Etchells
Midnight Moment: Eyes Looking
World Premiere

Nightly from 11:57pm–midnight
Times Square
Screened on electronic billboards from 42nd–49th Street between Broadway and 7th Avenue
Tim Etchells brings a multi-channel video installation to the jumbo screens across Times Square. Equal parts poem and performative sculpture, Eyes Looking uses text to draw attention to the people passing through Times Square and echo those who have visited in the past. It highlights the small actions and human details that bring us together in a city.
Free and open to the public
Co-presented with Times Square Arts and Times Square Advertising Coalition (TSAC)
“I create moments of thoughtfulness and playful encounter in public places; the work tries to draw each person into a space of intimate reflection.”
Tim Etchells is an artist and writer based in the UK, and Artistic Director of the award-winning theater company Forced Entertainment. His work shifts between performance, visual art, and fiction. In 2016, he was honored with the prestigious Spalding Gray Award.
