| Flatlanders (2008)
|
|
|
(Duration: 00:04:30)
When I heard that scientists were doing an experiment to try and recreate the conditions that were there at the beginning of the universe at (*CERN in 2008), I thought that it would be like the Breugel's painting, 'The Fall Of Icarus', where the ploughman continues ploughing the field as Icarus falls from the sky; we would probably wouldn't be taking any notice.
What they are doing at CERN is profound and I wanted to make a work of art about it, perhaps for the similar reasons that Jan Van Eyck wanted to create his iconic painting 'The Mystic Lamb' in 1432, this is something that fills me with awe.
So I had a frock made to play the part of Themis holding a pair of perfectly balanced scales and then spent over 12 months creating an Icarus character that simultaneously both falls and flies when he reaches the sun and people that were like Breugel figures who walk aimlessly on the surface of a tea cup. Then, using sounds recorded by scientists at *CERN (in the Infusion Pump Cooling Station), and with help from musician Milton Mermikides http://www.miltonmermikides.com/ we created the sound of Icarus' wings beating.
The final work which depicts a woman riding on a swing carrying perfectly balanced scales.
The High Definition quality of the original installation is lost in this online version. The High Definition version can be viewed by appointment by email:-founder'at'jowonder.com
The original installation was shown in Guildford Cathedral supporting a debate about science and religion chaired by Jim Al-Khalili a British theoretical nuclear physicist, academic, author and broadcaster.
