Tremors
Tremors is an installation which entangles objects, video and sound work
making each medium dependent on the others to complete the work as sculptural whole. The work depicts an incongruity: a groupings of wine glasses (i.e. the type with “feet”) crowding and standing atop a washing machine—tinging along as the washing program unfolds, like an antique greek choir amplifying the events of a tragedy’s intrigue.
This choir of wine glasses on a washing machine is of course an impossible object: the glasses would normally fly off as the different washing cycles progress. Instead, the piece is assembled thanks to filmic trickery, combined with extensive foley work changing the sonic colourations with each shot. Although starting from a Still Life arrangement, the work plays on intertwining objecthood and eventness: an assemblage given integrity through time-based aspects, while its outcome is contained and consolidated into a repeatable form.
Standing screen and speakers and HD video with 6 channels surround sound, 19’ (looped), 2023.
