History
Research statement
Background 60-minute video work created to be shown on continuous loop in art gallery setting. Part of the VOLUME multimedia exhibition at One Star Gallery. Work was shown at 2.5x 1.5m, suggesting the presence of a triple-paned Victorian-era house window in the gallery wall. Work explores atmospherics of the depths of night, particularly 3-4am period. Work was shown with paintings by other artists & projected over a colour-field painting to suggest layering of perceptions & dialogue between depictions of light & sound. The work asks: how can audio volume & slow cinema be used to evoke visual, aural & emotional perceptions of night-time atmospherics? Contribution Contributes to research into artists’ evocations of atmospheric states of night across disciplines. Introduces movement, filmic light & volume (via silence) in dialogue with paintings & animation in VOLUME exhibition. Viewers often perceived the projection as a still image, only to see a truck speed by or a cat enter the frame. Noise is suggested, but the film is silent, exploring how levels of audio volume can be suggested without sound and how suggestion of volume evokes emotional & sensory perceptions of night. Work intersects with night sensory perceptions research (Nina J. Harris 2011); slow cinema, e.g. The Work and Days (Winter & Edström 2020). Significance Record was in the VOLUME exhibition, which had a two-week showing at One Star Gallery and received positive responses from peers and audiences. It was competitively selected by the gallery program’s curators.Publication classification
