A LOWER VOLUME ( 2014)
HD video installation with sound, 7 mins. Pool dimensions 4.8 x 7m.
LONGLISTED FOR the 2015 Aesthetica Art Prize.
Collaboration with Rachel McBrinn.
Site-specific installation, first exhibited as part of Hidden Door Festival, Edinburgh, 28th March - 5th April 2014.
A LOWER VOLUME takes the form of a mesmeric video projection onto a semi-circular end wall, which is mirrored in a pool of dark water, creating a circular moving image that illuminates the otherwise pitch-black space. The work sought to exploit the physical form of the vault, depicting movements and compositions that work well within the reflected semi-circular format. The end result is an immersive and illusory journey through liquid and light, challenging the viewer’s perception of physical space.
