"""© Licensed to London News Pictures. 05/09/2015. Bristol, UK.  Arcadia's Metamorphosis show in Bristol's historic Queen Square, as the city hosted the world's first recycled biofuel pyrotechnics show. The 50-tonne Arcadia spider, made from used repurposed military hardware and fuelled by waste oil from local fish and chip shops, landed in the city this weekend to celebrate its year as European Green Capital 2015. Arcadia's founders, Pip Rush and Bert Cole explain; """"We're hugely honoured to play a part in Bristol's year as Green Capital and have been overwhelmed by the excitement around the city. We're proud to be a part of Bristol's vibrant community and hope that by performing a new show amidst a dynamic mechanical sculpture that is built and powered by re-used resources, we can share a weekend of collective joy with thousands in the heart of the city."""" Zoe Sear, Bristol 2015, added: """"We are excited that Bristol will host the world's first pyrotechnics show fuelled entirely by recycled biofuel – this is a seminal moment for the city. The iconic spider is not only made from 'waste' materials, but now its flames will be powered by waste oil collected from Bristol's chip shops, which is a brilliant example of how our resources can be re-used. With the theme of the Metamorphosis show focused on transformation and change, it is bringing the ethos of sustainability to life."""" Metamorphosis, which was unveiled at Glastonbury Festival in June, took place in Bristol on 4 and 5 September. The show - Arcadia's first ever inner city event – saw the spider come alive as a living organism, fusing sustainable ideas and technologies with art, music and performance, to create a spectacular symphony of transformation. It was part-funded by Arts Council England under its Exceptional Awards Scheme as part of Bristol's year in the spotlight as the UK's first European Green Capital. Photo credit: Simon Chapman/LNP"""
