Floating Earth creator says Liverpool 'gets culture in a way other cities don't'

The Floating Earth's creator, Luke Jerram, praised Liverpool's interest in not only his work but culture as a whole.

The project was a part of Liverpool's Eurovision Song Contest welcome and one of the first installations to appear around the city. From April 28 - May 18, the 10-metre art installation was anchored at the Royal Albert Dock and went on to extend its stay until May 21 after public demand.

Luke originally brought the installation to the Anglican Cathedral in 2019 before rehousing it on the docks. He admitted he couldn't pick a favourite home for his work but gushed over the response from Liverpool as a whole.
