Installations that are in development - combining recorded video and real objects in the space - all adhere to a binding concept of the sound (that is in the video) being re-performed or re-generated in the space by these objects, in the presence of the audience. And since this sound is the sound that was created by the action in the video, but performed in the space live, it immerses the recorded material into the present space and time while immersing the audience, within the performance of the recording.

Lament 1+2 is an installation for video and a grid of wooden chairs, with each chair electronically triggered so that it's wood resonates, effectively turning the chair into a speaker, and a seperate channel of audio. As each audience member sits in a chair that then ‘speaks’, they watch other audience members in the video - in mirror image to themselves - sit in similar chairs, while each person on screen can be heard (and felt) in the same chair, in the space.

This installation has been developed and exhibited in an earlier form.

Other proposed installations that are in development which explore similar ideas, include a series of works involving a self playing piano that re-performs live in the space, the performance of a pianist on this same piano, in the video. Rather than the piano music being played back as a recording, just as the video is, the instrument performs it live, exactly in sync, in the present space.

Detailed information about these installations is available upon request.
