Gravitas

Gravitas is an audiovisual meditation on orientation, weight and belonging, where landscape and architecture coexist in a state of temporal suspension. The work begins with an inverted coastal horizon — a still, atmospheric expanse of sky, sea and cloud. Gradually, the interior of a church emerges, its forms and figures bleeding into the landscape until the two become one. Presented as a large-scale, looped projection in a black box space, Gravitas is accompanied by a recorded church choir, whose resonance grounds the shifting image in a ritual sense of time, place and gravity.
