Vanishing Point

2009-ongoing

Vanishing Point explores the transformative and transcending nature of theatrical internal spaces as existing beyond one’s immediate perception. The work focuses on these spaces prior or post performance and when empty. In this meditative context the work engages with, and seeks to deconstruct issues of spectacularity and theatrical approach, with a focus on the spectator/stage relationship.

The work will be developed utilising a specialised microphone to record direct vibrations (and sounds) off and from the stage. Taking inspiration from composer John Cage’s 4′33″ and linked with film clips of the spaces, the recordings will act as a conceptual performance piece. Projecting the work onto gallery walls at the theatrical space’s architectural dimensions will further prompt the audience’s experience of ‘looking’ and interaction with the space and work.
