land of flowing waters
the land of flowing
waters
of rivers drying up
of I can’t cry and you
can’t stop
of broken dams
and floods and floods
no rain
crying murky waters
‘land of flowing waters’ explores the connections between our climatic
and emotional relationships with water. the title suggests prosperity and
abundance, while the work speaks of dwindling groundwater reserves, of
dammed-up feelings, broken dams and flooding on parched soils. vulnerability is
in dialogue with existing power structures.
the
audio installation consists of old brass taps which are each linked to a
different audio track – the sound of a person crying. the work is activated and
can be directed by the person perceiving the installation.
