In Sounds from Beneath a disused coal-mine in East Kent, once populated with workers, machines and the sounds of their activities, is brought back to life through song. The video centers around a choral piece in which ex-miners’ recall in song the subterranean sounds of a working coal mine.
Aide-mémoire is part travelogue, slide-show, obscure history lesson and immersive sound-scape. It presents a visual chain of association and explores the construction of memory, narrative and national symbols.
Remnants of the Future combines elements of documentary, sci-fi and electro-acoustics. It portrays the precarious existence in a post-Soviet ghost-town, an inverted ruin of the modern that is still waiting to fulfill its utopian ambition of communal living.
