Description
The Absence of Inclination is a 6-minute composition commissioned for Melbourne Now: Now Hear This at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2013 as a headphone work, and later remounted as a 6-speaker installation for You’ve Got Cucumbers In Your Eyes — an exhibition curated by Anabelle Lacroix for the Gertrude Street Projection Festival at Seventh Gallery, Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia.
In its iteration at Seventh Gallery, 6-speakers were setup within a small room at the back of the gallery. The room was pitch black, with glow tape on the floor to show audience members where they could move safely through the space in darkness, with them free to walk in, around and out as they pleased — the composition swelling and receding in waves around them.
