Chorus Durham Cathedral
December, 2009
Chorus’, UVA’s kinetic installation with sound by Mira Calix, recently featured in Artichoke’s‘Lumiere’in the world heritage site of Durham Cathedral. An array of motor-assisted pendulums weaves through space emitting light and sound. The rhythm of the work evolves through chaos and returns to unison, producing a hypnotic and seductive performance that heightens the viewer’s awareness of the space and their relationship with it. More than 75,000 people visited the festival, over the 4-day period.
