Time Beings is a drawing, sound and moving image installation. Large-scale drawings on yupo paper, heavy with soft, powdered graphite and inscribed with erased marks, hang suspended, stirred by the movement of air in the space and the flickering of projections. More large drawings are attached to the walls, and glimpses of drawings and projections are visible between and behind others as one moves through the space, interrupted by the viewer’s body as it shapes shadows of uncanny graphic presence. The environment is unsettled by waves of sound – field recordings from transitional zones around the city and further afield. Informed by source material that includes medical scans and early time-lapse photography, the images and sounds in Time Beings are disoriented, echoing or emergent.
In this project I ask how the field of expanded drawing, extending into and enveloped by the time-based mediums of sound and video, can evoke the uncanny resonances of human and more-than-human temporalities.
The following images are from the one-day installation at Remote Gallery.
