This first ‘documentary’ edition of The Steps Series encourages visitors to marvel at a range of amazingathletic performances that have won gold medals at Olympic Games over the years.
Spread across two parks in north Birmingham the piece uses temporary paint to enable visitors to attempt to follow in the footsteps of famous Olympians from across the world.
The piece will extend in scope during its run in the park as events are added occasionally.
