The necessity to change direction

Sally Stenton 6 years ago

I was invited to be part of an exhibition for Cambridge Science Festival, but with late notice the gallery became unavailable due to the anticipated knocking down of a wall to connect it to the adjacent cafe. The exhibition relocated to the 'library' upstairs in the cafe and my intended video installation was no longer viable, so I created a new work in response to the new space - with limited options available I developed a dual video projection on the library shelves using video footage of my walk from art to science and back again. Between the projections was a row of books brought to the space by myself and neuro-scientist Marty Fiati. The work reflected our collaborative discussion and we gave a presentation as part of the festival that explored this process.
