An Infusion of the Evening Air (2010)

Documentation still, Sloans Ballroom, GI, 2010

’The point for me is not to expect perfumery to take its place in some nice, reliable, rational world order, but to expect everything else to become like perfume.’ Brian Eno - Scents and Sensibility Details Magazine, July 1992

An Infusion of the Evening Air was part of a cabaret-style night. The work combined audience, performers, stage, seating, tables, curtains and lighting, rendering the mise-en-scène the material of the work. Live camera feeds re-framed the event; a table acting as a stage, the stage performing as a spotlight, the spotlight functioning as ambient light, the performers and audience the subjects of a work created and re-presented live.

Live events included performances by Shelly Nadashi and Susie Green, new collaborative musical compositions by Cara Tolmie and Kimberley O’Neill and digital slide show by Morag Ross.
