That suspended space between conscious and sub-counscious awareness is the border of experience where familiar reality and the shadows become fluid.
The viewers will move into an experiential environment which is filled with dream-like images and sounds which relate to specific incidents and objects within the gallery. The works amplify the subliminal forces which we carry, yet seldom acknowledge.
By inverting our awareness within this contemplative space, the works form a journey which recognises the shadow-life. Using interactive strategies like motion-detection, the individual pieces respond to the viewer with a continuity of subtle and effuse sounds and imagery.
This is a collaborative project designed to the specific parameters of the Sub Station. The room as a whole will act as a pin-hole camera, locating the darkened room as an inversion of the daily traffic without, we provide residual images and ask the viewer to construct their own narrative experience of the installation
