Installation audio track: Border Names
As part of the audio track for my final installation I have recorded readings of a list of place names from around the Irish border . This list starts at the northern most point and continues along the length of the border in the same direction as I travelled in summer 2005. What is striking about the place names when listed in this fashion is the toing and froing between Irish/Gaelic sounding place names and very Anglified place names. Also the frequency of re occurring place name, in particular the name County Bridge, it seams to me that there is more than one County Bridge in each county. I want to use this audio track to reinforce a sense of place and rhythm within the work. One that will ebb and flow along the duration of the looped work. I am starting to think that the audio and indeed video could be on different looping times with each eliment of the installation, so as to constantly change the work, throwing up different combinations with each viewing reducing the feeling of repetition. Always in a state of change.
