Any
Object In The universe, 1998
Video projection, sound installation.
Art Now. Tate Gallery 1998
The floor of the space is replaced by a shallow 'stage' underneath
which a system of microphones is installed. These pick up the
sound of the viewers footsteps as they walk around the space
and this is then fed to a ‘delay’ unit, producing
long echoes of the sounds made. The walls of the space are covered
with sound proofing material, creating an environment which
plays with our sense of distance and proximity. An almost still
projection of a microphone set up in the space before the build
is projected on one wall, introducing a temporal element and
the implication of another space.
Before entering the installation there was a space with twelve
drawings on show. Titled 'Drawings of Nothing and Nowhere' they
acted as a kind of anti-chamber to the main space. |
