藝術家Morag Myerscough對英格蘭北部Hadrian城堡城墻旁羅馬風格的門樓進行了新的多彩詮釋。

這座名為“未來屬于過去和現在”的展館坐落在原城堡北部門樓的舊址上，其歷史可以追溯到公元122年。

Artist Morag Myerscough has unveiled a colourful reinterpretation of the original gatehouse at Housesteads Roman Fort alongside Hadrian's Wall in northern England.
Named The Future Belongs To What Was As Much As What Is, the pavilion stands on the site of the original northern gatehouse at the fort, which dates back to 122AD.

這座高8.5米、寬12.5米的建筑由英國遺產協會委托建造，它復制了原來羅馬門樓的規模。

它的建造是為了紀念Hadrian城堡建成1900周年。Hadrian城堡曾是羅馬帝國北部邊界處一個73英里長的防御工事。

Commissioned by English Heritage, the 8.5-metre-high and 12.5-metre-wide structure replicates the size of the original Roman gatehouse.
It was created to mark 1,900 years since construction began on Hadrian's Wall – a 73-mile-long defensive fortification that marked the northern border of the Roman Empire.

英國遺產協會首席執行官Kate Mavor說：“Hadrian城堡是英國極具標志性的地標，為了它的周年紀念，我們希望通過一種有意義的方式將2022年的人們與公元122年聯系起來�！�

Mavor說：“我們希望在這片古老的景觀環境中放置大膽的當代藝術裝置，不僅能抓住人們的想象力，還可能引發他們對這堵墻用途的聯想�！�

“這不僅是一種阻止人們進入的手段，而且是一個讓人們可以實際跨越的邊界�！�

"Hadrian's Wall is one of England's most iconic landmarks and to mark its anniversary, we wanted a meaningful way to connect people of 2022 back to 122AD," said English Heritage chief executive Kate Mavor.
"We hope that placing such a bold contemporary art installation in this ancient landscape will not only capture people's imagination but maybe also challenge their ideas of what the wall was for," Mavor said.
"Not just a means to keep people out, but a frontier that people could – and did – cross."

重新設計的門樓由腳手架框架搭建而成，上面覆蓋著由Myerscough設計的色彩鮮艷的面板。到該景點的游客可以爬上該結構，一覽整個景區的景色。

這些面板的設計是為了與周圍的景觀形成對比，其靈感來源于諾森伯蘭郡Chesters Roman Fort博物館展示的現場文物。

Myerscough說：“當我看到Housesteads并開始在城堡周圍徘徊，我有一種強烈的感覺，應該在那里設計一個空間裝置�！�

“我站在北門樓的廢墟上，看著這片自羅馬時代以來似乎從未改變過的荒野，我立刻就知道那就是我要找的地方�！�

The reimagined gatehouse was constructed from a scaffolding frame and covered in brightly coloured panels designed by Myerscough. Visitors to the site will be able to climb the structure to see views across the site.
The panels, which were designed to contrast the surrounding landscape, were informed by artefacts found at the site that are on display at Chesters Roman Fort museum in Northumberland.
"The moment I saw Housesteads and started walking around the fort I had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to make an installation there," Myerscough said.
"I stood in the remains of the north gatehouse and I looked at the wilderness that appeared to be unchanged since Roman times and I knew immediately that was the place."

面板上的這些詞是詩人Ellen Moran和當地社區的一些成員合作選擇的，他們也畫了一些面板。

Myerscough說：“這項工作與當地社區的合作，與它的目標人群有關，這對我和英國遺產協會來說都非常重要�！�

“整個建筑作品都是和當地社區一起創作的，我們一起完成了它�！�

The words were chosen in collaboration with poet Ellen Moran and members of the local community, who also painted some of the panels.
"It was so important to me, and to English Heritage, that the work was a collaboration with the local community and that it relates to the people it is for," Myerscough said.
"The whole work has been created and made with the local community, we have made it together."

總部位于倫敦的Myerscough工作室在英國各地建成了許多亮眼的裝置。為了應對新冠的影響，她最近在巴黎修建了一座色彩繽紛的裝置，并在倫敦修建了一個竹亭，為路人帶來“意想不到的歡樂”。

London-based Myerscough has created numerous bright installations across the UK. She recently responded to the coronavirus pandemic with a colourful installation in Paris and a bamboo pavilion to bring "unexpected joy" to passersby in London.
