Quick Friday challenge: can you spot Iain Wheeldon - before he explodes?
The 'Cast of Players' is a projection mapped artwork at Seaton Delaval Hall and part of Vanbrugh 300, a year long celebration of the Hall's visionary architect Sir John Vanbrugh.
Iain was one of 300 people with a connection to the hall who were photographed for the project.
These portraits form the 'Cast of Players' and have been brought to life in an animated 12 minute film that is projected onto the Hall each evening.
Hint: you can spot Iain on the West Wing projection - but catch him quick!
You can see The Cast of Players at Seaton Delaval Hall each evening until Saturday 28th March (7.15pm-9.30pm).
It's been a while since we updated this... Who/what should we be following? Where are you now? Let us know!
