Hark 2 – 2007

Hark 2, is an  audio-visual installation produced in collaboration with photographer David Cottridge. It is a further development of the Hark (2005) project.

Hark 2 was first screened in Matrix East Research Lab at the University of East London as part of the Lab’s launch event and the Cultural Studies Now conference, UEL,  in July 2007.

Following the same basic concept as Hark, the new piece works with layered images of shifting light and shadow, adding an additional suggestion of temporality within a seamless animation of still photographic images.

The sound element of Hark 2, is based on field recordings made in the Lee Valley, London. These recordings were processed and arranged into a twin stereo sound composition. The installation comprise two screen projection accompanied by a four speaker array for the audio. The piece is of 8 minutes duration.

Hark 2 was shown at  Gallerie 8 in the summer of 2011 as part of PHONO: GRAPHIC http://www.galerie8.co.uk/cat/exhibitions/
