"The large room has been darkened. One passes
through a curtain into a mood that is delicate, edgy and somewhat
archival. Patches of light beckon. They are a series of wall mounted
light boxes on which are printed texts: poignant, anecdotal, compelling.
One gestures towards the surface to make contact and the room is filled
with sound. With each touch to each illuminated parchment, voices,
music, strange sonorities emerge. The dark space is choired by all
who enter. Means masked by austerity end in heightened sensuality:
an ecstatic cacophony. But 'This is Not a Love Story.'" (Toni
Warburton)

An enclosed and darkened space with sixteen floating panels of light and a constantly evolving soundscape, controlled by the interaction of the viewer. Each lit panel contains fragments of an illusive monologue, detailing a mysterious encounter. The text is reminiscent of a diaristic approach to writing, but also suggests the genre of the the detective novel - each fragment a clue to a larger story. But these are only fragments and the viewer must fill in many of the gaps themselves. Each time the viewer raises a hand to one of the lighted panels, they create changes or layers within the audio, at times creating a cinematic atmosphere, and at others bringing further pieces of the narrative into play as part of the sonic backdrop to the written texts. |
