The Wall of Death, Metal sculpture at University of Washington, Seattle, US.
The Wall of Death features twelve lavender metal columns supporting a pink steel circular track with text cut into its surface at Burke-Gilman Trail.
The installation was commissioned through Seattle City Light's 1% for Art funds to create an engaging public artwork along a recreational pathway.
The sculpture references early 20th-century carnival motordromes while incorporating seating elements that transform the space into a performance setting.
Located near Eastlake Avenue Northeast between Northeast 40th Street and Northeast Northlake Way, the structure measures 192 x 360 x 780 inches.
Metal chairs mounted on concrete bridge columns create seating for imaginary spectators, merging recreational activities with artistic expression.
