Klip Collective creates 38-ft. tall projection of Big Ben for Flower Show

For this year’s London-themed Philadelphia Flower Show, Northern Liberties creative agency Klip Collective made Big Ben come to life.

The company used its trademark mapping projection style to create a 38-ft. replica of the iconic London clock. This Big Ben not only tells time — it spins every five minutes and takes you inside the clock, revealing the “inner-workings” of the clock and even a clock worker, said Klip Collective spokeswoman Michelle Barbieri. Every hour, instead of a bell, it plays a montage dedicated to British pop culture.

Watch a video of the clock below, complete with a sweet soundtrack composed by Klip Collective’s Thom Roland. (And look out for the David Bowie cameo!) The Flower Show will close at the end of the weekend.
