Visitors and passersby will find themselves greeted by unknown figures waving to them at Wellcome Collection this March as a new art installation takes over the building's foyer and windows. 'Wave', by the German-born artist Sigune Hamann, brings together an array of still and moving images of waving figures, capturing moments of joy, heartbreak, friendship and curiosity. The installation features more than 50 different recorded waves in a mesmerising gestural montage that sees hands raised in farewell, seduction, welcome and desperation, as figures wave to each other, to the camera and to visitors.

'Wave' will be accompanied by a small publication by Camberwell Press.
