Modern-day
Miracles
Installation. 7 lenticular photographic images, an interactive
sound installation using hypersonic speakers, and a book printed in a limited
edition of 500.
A dedicated website (www.mymiracle.co.uk),
printed cards and advertisements placed in London-wide publications, invited
anecdotal evidence of modern-day miracles. The installation is based entirely
on these testimonies. Each image is compiled from 6 layered photographs.
This lenticular format offers the viewer the impression of lips moving as
they walk by the installation, as if in whispered prayer. At the same time,
the viewer will experience the suggestion of hushed voices and collaged
layers of directional sound. The photographs are displayed on a shallow
curve so that the overall set of images envelops the viewer in an apparent
communion. The work aims to examine whether 'miracles' that occur in contemporary
life are perceived as a divine intervention, or fate, or merely coincidence
by those who have witnessed them. Drawing together such disparate motives
raises interesting questions about our systems of belief. |
