Jane and Louise Wilson
Performance of Entrapment
17 July 2025 - 10 January 2026
London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE
12 Walbrook
EC4N 8AA
London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE showcases a series of contemporary art commissions, responding and bringing fresh perspective to the site's archaeological history. The newest installation, Performance of Entrapment by Jane and Louise Wilson, opens tomorrow, marking the 15th site specific installation in the space.
Performance of Entrapment centres around 2,000-year-old oak stakes discovered during excavations for Bloomberg’s European headquarters believed to have once supported a crossing over the River Walbrook - an ancient waterway that flowed beside the Temple of Mithras, and still runs beneath the streets of modern London. Using microscopic imagery, the Wilsons draw inspiration from the wood’s structure and DNA sequencing, to create large-scale, visually layered artworks.
Performance of Entrapment investigates parallels between the Roman Temple of Mithras and Ise Jingu shrine in Japan — two sacred places dating to the 1st–3rd century BC. Though geographically and culturally distant, they both feature similarities in iconography and house significant relics: the head of Mithras in London, and the Sacred Mirror of the Emperor at Ise Jingu. A film by the Wilsons, created with shrine authorities within the grounds of Ise Jingu, explores sisterhood, duality and renewal.
The Wilsons explain, “Ise City is the home to the Ise Ondo, a traditional female folk-dance group that dates to the Edo period. The film, made with the group, explores re-enactment of traditions… This creates a feeling of being in two worlds at once - strange, yet familiar - like looking at ourselves through a mirror.”
By weaving together film, archaeology, and contemporary art Jane and Louise Wilson offer a powerful reflection on ancient shrines, memory, and time.
You can explore Performance of Entrapment with a free audio guide from the artists on Bloomberg Connects.

Dendrophiles
15 July 2025 - Spring 2026
The Leadenhall Building (Escalators)
122 Leadenhall, London EC3V 4AN
Sculpture in the City is an annual sculpture park that uses the urban realm as a rotating gallery space.
The 14th Edition of Sculpture in the City will be on display from 15 July 2025 to Spring 2026, and includes the artwork, Dendrophiles, by Jane and Louise Wilson.
The ink drawing is based on images of DNA strands and a 3-D eucentric scans of wooden dendro samples which date over 2000 years, AD 60 and which likely formed part of a crossing over the River Walbrook. The microscopic imagery was developed with Phil Ayres Professor of Biohybrid Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy, Copenhagen, thanks to MOLA London.
