I go

Within the Street at at Bath Spa University's Locksbrook Campus is the Dark Space. This is a cupboard under the stairs which has repurposed as a small black box for art installations. I had created an audiovisual piece called I go in response to the death of Sinead O'Connor. When first posted on YouTube it amassed over a 1000 views before I edited it and re-uploaded it. The audio version is below:

I thought it would work well in the Dark Space and it was accepted. In discussion with Gary, the curator o of that space, we decided it need a bit more than just the video playing on a loop. So I decided to add some LED candles to make it a reflective space.


The accompanying literature reads:


A lament. An audio-visual piece of 3 minutes including a section of dark screen to allow you time for contemplation.


Should you wish to, taken and turn on an LED candle, and place it in the space as a dedication to someone that's no longer here.


Unlit LED candles

Inside the video played along with the music and then left time for contemplation when the single candle appeared on the screen.
