Artists Talk: Herman Kolgen's Inject
Wednesday 25th, July 18:30
For one-day only, artist and audiocinetic sculptor Herman Kolgen's award-winning installation Inject will open free to the public Hengrove Park Leisure Centre. Projected on a giant screen at Hengrove's Olympic size pool, Inject depicts a human body immersed in a large cistern of water. Over 45 minutes the water pressure builds and the oxygen depletes, affecting the figure's nervous system. A remarkable sequence of live mixed sound and video illustrates a loss of touch with reality and invites a floating audience to consider the relationship between human biology and emotion.
There will be a talk with the artist on Wednesday 25 July at 18:30 and he will share insights about his work and career. Then on Friday 27, don your swim-suit and experience this stunning work at the pool: float in the water while the projection is played on a giant screen or simply watch from the spectator seats.
Performances at Hengrove are free and take place at 21:00 and 22:00. Click here to book your free tickets to the performance.
