Figlio del Silenzio (Child of Silence), 2013

This is a collaborative project with myself and artists Stella Whalley, and James Bell. The installation, filming and exhibiting of this work took place in Atina, Italy – August 2013.

The work was a response to the unfinished building, a folly built 40 years ago, and the school where we were staying. A child’s chair is trapped with thread between the walls of the building, it is suspended within the frame of the building. The video captures its movement in the wind and rain, the sounds of thunder and lightning, church bells and a crying child. Viewed from afar and close up with Atina and the school in the distance.
