NOTE
Men Are Really Great or At Least Have the Capacity To Be Great in Them
from Complete Hero,
the Guards' Chapel Birdcage Walk London UK. Photographed by Tommy Gaken Wan, 4 November 2009. As Artist in Residence with the Household Division of the British Army, Firrell created Complete Hero.
Text, graphics and video interviews were projected onto the 1960s modernist elevations of the Guards' Chapel with sound delivered by wireless headsets to the audience in the concourse by the West Front. The artist's aim was to provide a complete contemporary definition of heroism including heroes from science, the arts and the LGBT+ community more in keeping with a plural, modern Britain.
