PICTURES…
In slow motion a projection of a large human figure lights a violent blue flame. The camera zooms into the flame.
The large figure disappears in an instant. A young boy dressed in the same clothes returns in his place, These two figures imply two important moods (the optimism and the darkness) of the piece.
The implied narrative of this projection is a kind of ‘sculptural element’, evolving very slowly. It reveals changes in physical form as much as a psychological meaning. The slow motion video – necessary to show the virile blue flame – gives the standing human figure an unusual slowness, making a ‘heroic’ sculpture out of his presence.
PROMENADE (a,b,c,d,e)
video projection
As the musicians set up on stage, we start with a collaborative video piece, an original electro-acoustic soundscape by house composer Hibiki Mukai and slow-motion imagery by Adrian Walton-Smith.
The piece shows the co-existence of apparent opposites: the element of fire contained inside a dynamic skin of water. The music is an original sound collage, suggesting a ‘choral’ resonance containing the turbulent energy of the flames.
