What secrets lie beneath the surface? Right here, on the banks of the Thames, you’ll find A Slice of Reality. This isn’t your typical art installation. A Slice of Reality is a monumental sculpture by Richard Wilson, a unique blend of art and maritime history. The artist took a massive 800-ton sand dredger, the Arco Trent, and sliced a vertical section right through it. Imagine cutting a cake and taking out a giant slice, that’s what you’re seeing. This 9-meter-tall section reveals the ship’s inner workings, from the bridge and living quarters to the engine room, all laid bare to the elements. You can almost hear the echoes of the crew, feel the hum of the engine, and smell the salty air of the open sea. A Slice of Reality serves as a potent symbol of Greenwich’s rich maritime history. The sculpture stands as a testament to the industrial past and the passage of time.
