Hold: Vessel 2

2007

A large-scale installation that explores the intimacy and immensity of the natural world and our relationship to it, this work uses moving image and technology to reveal the hidden intricacies of human immersion in the wide, complex world. The piece is activated by the viewer, the interaction being a metaphor for our connectedness within biological, social and ecological systems. With intimate moments of synchronised light and sound, the installation celebrates minutiae - microscopic views of marine life forms and telescopic imagery of deep space - leaving the visitor with a sense of communal participation within a complex system of which we are a part.
