If a building had a memory,
with secrets to tell,
what would it say?
'Slip in Time' is a short video which began as an enquiry into the secrets a building might tell, if only we spoke the same language.
During September - Temple Works, a near derelict flax mill located in Holbeck, Leeds - has been open and made available for a small group of artists, to gather raw material - audio, video, photographs and sculptural artifacts - to create work for the Final Days exhibition, as part of the Light Night Festival 2009.
During this time, I was able to photograph the internal spaces, and sample audio and video directly from the building. The audio, video and photography was then used as source material for the creation of an installation. Mark Valentine and myself worked back and forth, responding to each others contributions - his sound to my video, and vice versa - to create an video/audio installation, in response to the building.
The short video we created will be on view - screened in situ across a tower of 9 CRT monitors - alongside other artists responses, as part of the Temple Works Light and Sound contribution to the Leeds Light Night Festival on October 9th, 2009. The video is intended as a visual/aural representation of how an actual building might remember its occupants! Fleeting moments, captured as glitches in time, half remembered, as visual and aural metaphors.
I'll load more images of the installation running in situ, after the event.
If you are in the area, please check it out!! Bookings essential. Tickets are available here.
