The Sound of Kingston


Video


The work focuses on the area of Clattern Bridge by collecting images of nearby scenes and sounds associated with the area, such as: the sound of water running under Clattern Bridge as it has done for millennia; the sound of birds chirping; the sound of rain; the sound of people walking; the coronation event represented by the Coronation Stone; a video of the defunct Minden Band marching in Kingston, which is almost the only proof of the band's existence in the online world; and an event in front of the Town Hall in the 1960s. The recombination of these videos allows the land to be viewed through the lens of history and the present, and to some extent extends the dimension of the area in time.
