Notes

As with the Jantar Mantar project (Second Site) I want to evoke the physical
and poetic presence of this site using sound and spoken text.
Peter Zumthor's work is distinguished by his exemplary use of materials and
I have attempted to draw analogies between the ways in which our memories
of touch and sound connect to the sense presence of complex man made spaces.
I am also interested in the parallels between the internal organisation of
thoughts and sensations and the external experience of moving through
designed spaces.

The end product of this process is both a stereo recording and a more
complex split channel version made to be installed within another space.
The idea being to superimpose the presence of the first space within the volumes
of another unrelated space. The "libretto" contained within both of these works
will be published along (I hope) with some notes by and an interview
with the architect. It is my intention when installing
this work within another space to incorporate video material generated
at the site as well as still images. The design of the installation will also
try to reinforce the experience of the original space.
