The Poacher's Lament & Other Half Heard Tales, Yorkshire Sculpture Park
The Poachers Dream, Visningsrommet USF, Bergen
He
saw something in the darkness. He searches his memory for its form.
It was here, it left its shadow with him; he can feel its presence.
It watches him, waits for him. He is caught in its flow now; it draws
him in, through the darkness and down the narrow passage.
The Poacher’s work is to trespass; inhabiting the dark and hidden places. He penetrates his prey with a bullet, or untangles its entrails from a trap. He is well acquainted with the insides and outsides of things, with the dead and the living, with creation and destruction. Under the skin, much is fluid. This is where the unconscious is at work, digesting and processing and merging and separating matter.
The exhibition will consist of multiple channels of sound and video - spoken and sung narratives that unfold as one moves through the space. Much of the inspiration for this work came from being in a landscape – of walking in the woods or approaching monuments, connecting these experiences to folk tales or the mysterious practices of early cultures. We have had an extensive research period over the last few years at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, where we have gathered material. All the audio, including music, is either from manipulated field recordings taken on site or vocal recordings.
Supported by BEK, Bergen Kommune and Kunstsentrene i Norge
