concept notes
if a building had a memory, with secrets to tell, what would it say?
'slip in time' began as an enquiry into the secrets that a building might tell, if only we could speak the same language.
video artist, shari baker, and composer, mark sullivan used visual and aural artifacts, sampled directly from the building, to weave a vast historical and social tapestry of memory itself - the traces and fragments coexisting within this one structure, of times that no-longer remember each other, and others that we have almost forgotten.
the work brings together fleeting moments, captured as glitches in time, half remembered, visual and aural metaphors. the narrative, haunting, yet soothing, and somehow just beyond our reach of comprehension. immense in its quietness. it is intended to leave us wanting more, just like memories themselves.
