Visited some famous London water today with Peter Cusack and friends to take some field recordings.
The day was grey, the tide was out, and the area was swamped in mist. This footage is inspired no doubt by Roni Horn’s recent exhibition nearby at the Tate Modern, which has changed our perception of this water for good. It’s different now, holding many stories.
Standing inside, surrounded by the Thames, by ‘Still Water’,
I am looking out at another Thames,
watching a tree dance in the wind.
I believe to be listening to the outside, by means of gallery vents, to the sound of the wind against this tree.
Momentarily the tree slows to a quiver, almost still.
What i am looking at, and what i am listening to, divides, it’s connection disconnected.
This moment.
The swaying begins again, but i can no longer hear the wind.
