The Site: the Avoca flood plains
|
|
| The Swiss House is located on the floodplains of Avoca. Over the last 100 years the house and grounds have been flooded on a number of occasions. Using photographs from the Avoca Historical Society, and anecdotes from Avoca residents and those who had lived in the house, I determined three flood levels. These formed the basis of a new light based installation in the form of a grid of lines of light. The second element of the installation is a 'performance of objects' whereby chairs lit with light cables form 3D drawings suspended in trees. They fall to ground as the buckets counterweighting them drain. |
