Echolocation is an eleven-meter-long, three-channel video installation that seeks to excavate more than a millennium of local history. The video is projected onto a semi-transparent fine mesh made from stretched fishing net. (Kingston’s coat of arm consists of three silver salmon on a blue ground, representing three fisheries that are mentioned in the Domesday Book, after which the town became known as Kyngeston super Tamisiam, after the Latin for sieve or filter.) This gives the images both depth and an ethereal quality like a free-flowing X-ray of an unseen past, a ghostly palimpsest that interrogates the history of this ancient place. Read more here:
