slicing the brain - audio-visual animated poetry installation
Please play video at full screen, with sound on, and max the setting to 1080pHD using the little cog icon. Give it time - the starting poem from THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING BRAIN sequence will gradually vanish, creating new poems and echoing the progress of dementia. (See ALL THAT LIVES, the poetry book which contains all but one of the poems.) An outcome of my Changing Age & This Fatal Subject Residencies.
Commissioned for COMING OF AGE, a major exhibition of art including work by Renoir, Degas, Henry Moore, at Newcastle's Great North Museum - moving to GVArt, London - then to Berlin as part of the Zebra Poetry Film Festival - then Swansea - then at ZKM, Karlsruhe from Oct 18th to Jan 12th 2014.
After the SHRINKING BRAIN sequence, there are other poems, SLICES OF BRAIN, SENIOR LAST MOMENTS, IN THE DISSECTING ROOM, & APRIL FOOLS.
Reviewed in The Lancet, The Economist, and The BMJ. There has been great acclaim from members of the public, via visitors' books etc.
