My representation of this installation is a photograph of a video. It shows a moment in time of a brief but dramatic video. The Cragside blog describes the video installation.
Irene Brown’s work, Fulmination, is an intense video installation in which Cragside is repeatedly struck by lightening. The video is projected through a full glass bottle and has sound as well as imagery. It is located in the Study, the shutters will be up across the windows and the room slightly darkened, very atmospheric!
Information next to Irene’s work provides the following information.
Irene Brown’s work is based on illusion, both optical and material. Presenting an artistic acknowledgement of the significant role Armstrong played in scientific research, invention and his fascination with hydro electric power.
Situated within Armstrong’s study it implies his thought processes and ideas about this special place.
Irene Brown is a Newcastle based artist
I have no idea how Irene Brown created this image through the glass bottle Cherie… but i love it and the way that you have presented it….peter:)
I don’t know how it works either, but the video presentation was quite fascinating.
That would be amazing to see, Cherry, for sure. WOW!
I will have to try and get the video off my camera…
This is fiction,right?
This exhibit was actually quite clever and in context with the celebration.
