Inner Worlds is an 11 channel HD video and sound installation created especially for the iconic Rotunda building at Winchester School of Art. It was on public display for two weeks in February 2022.
The video has been created from imagery developed during our year-long residency at Winchester School of Art. During this year we spent much of our time working at the University of Southampton’s Biomedical imaging Unit based at Southampton General Hospital where we were introduced to a range of different imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy and scanning electron microscopy.
For this culminating public display, we have literally sampled Winchester School of Art: water from the pond; a spider’s web; workshop dust; a flake of studio paint and other elements, examined at massive magnification the worlds contained within these tiny things. The resulting light projection brings together all this detail, along with its architectural context, in a moving, ephemeral response to the art school building and specifically its iconic Rotunda.
Projected to the outside world from within the Rotunda itself during hours of darkness, Inner Worlds will be readily viewable from Winchester School of Art premises and from the street, 31 January – 11 February (excluding weekends).
Duration of installation: 15 mins 11 secs looped to play continuously across the 11 windows of the building.
