The Accurate Perception Available When Our Eye Becomes Single is an immersive multi-screen installation evoking the emotional specifics of place (Orford Ness on the Suffolk coast) while exploring the elasticity of time and history. It is an audio-visual collaboration between Richard Ducker (video) and Ian Thompson (sound) with no linear narrative; sound and image are not synchronised, so each viewing is a unique experience.
Orford Ness is an eight-kilometre shingle spit, used for secret military testing during the First World War until the cold war in the 1980s. The site is now desolate but the decaying architecture from seventy years of military occupation remain. These strange elemental structures are formed out of an alien landscape that resembles a lost movie set.
For the installation, the film’s constituent parts are broken into up to seven looped sections and projected on multiple screens and monitors, with four stereo audio channels on loudspeakers.
There will be a live performance on the last day by artist Sarah Sparkes.
