Designers Craig & Karl have playfully revived a derelict petrol station on Wood Lane in London’s White City to create Here After, a public and visually arresting art installation that riffs on the area’s importance to British broadcasting history. Here After gives the site a new life by twisting the appearance of commonplace petrol stations and patching together the mishmash of striped forms and colours found in major fuel companies’ branding.

 

In an almost chaotic fashion, the site reinvents itself from the fragments of its past. Vibrant, striped sections of painted colour wind and bend around the petrol station site, leading passers-by and visitors to discover the space’s ‘hereafter’, suggesting a place to meet or something yet to come. The project is the first stage in a regenerative scheme for the petrol station, which will soon have a new life as a venue for pop-up events.
