Chorus
Leeds/Durham/London, 2009
Chorus is a kinetic installation that comprises eight tall black pendulums swinging back and forth, simultaneously emitting light and sound to produce a hypnotic performance.
With a soundtrack written by Mira Calix (winner British Composer Award 2009), the rhythm of the work moves between chaos and unison.
After a successful run in Opera North in Leeds, February 2009, Chorus was installed in Durham Cathedral for the Lumiere festival (November 2009), which attracted over 75.000 visitors in 4 days. In June and July 2010, the work was installed in the boiler room at the Wapping Project, a previous hydraulic power station on the Thames.
