London, Apr 24 (ANI): A video installation of speeches by Nelson Mandela's, the former South African leader, is taking over many electronic billboards in New York's Times Square.
The Tribeca Film Institute, the arts organisation co-founded by Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro, commissioned the short presentation.
Inspirational quotes will played across many of Times Square's screens this month to celebrate the anti-apartheid leader's 95th birthday in July, the BBC reports.
The three-minute presentation will be shown every night just before midnight as part of a series of installations, which have already featured Icelandic singer Bjork and British conceptual artist Tracy Emin.
Mandela, who spent 27 years in jail for fighting white minority rule, was freed in 1990 and became South Africa's first democratically elected president in 1994.
He stepped down after one term in 1999. (ANI)
