Year 3
3 videos • 11 views • by Artangel One of the most ambitious visual portraits of citizenship ever undertaken, in one of the world’s largest and most diverse cities. Steve McQueen’s epic Year 3 took place on over 600 billboards across all 33 of London’s boroughs. The billboards featured huge class photos of year 3 school children from London primary schools. Year 3 is considered a milestone year in a child’s development and sense of identity. It’s when children, aged 7-8 years old, become more conscious of a much bigger world beyond their immediate family. This portrait of London captured that moment of excitement, anticipation and hope. It was a celebration of the young people who will make London their own. And a meditation on the personal circumstances and social forces that shape all our lives.
