Part of the installation for Perpetual Light requiem performed on Sat 4th. Laser cut B29 bombers (which dropped the bomb on Hiroshima) with integrated led lights. Performed in the Old Vic Tunnels in Waterloo. Thank you to Jessica Curry, Adam Spinos, all the crew and everyone for coming along.
The piece was reviewed this morning by Kay Kempin of Bachtrack:
A true collaboration of art and music, a series of art installations by Jo Fairfax greeted newcomers as they walked through the underground maze. In the first room, strings of airplane bomber lights hovered above, immediately recalling iconic black-and-white stills from World War II. Walking past the planes, the next room stopped us dead in our tracks. Lit by candles circling the room, it was clear this room was meant to serve as a memorial for all those that perished in the air strikes. Struck by the serious pallor of the art installations, the precedent was set for the haunting musical performance to come.
The combination of film, art and music crafted a powerful message that was both sobering and enlightening.
