The Swim installation is an audio visual piece using multi-screen projection and quadraphonic sound. This modular work, presented with a nostalgic aesthetic, focuses on the sounds and images of summer life. Blinding sparkling waters, meandering waves and even pesky flies create an immersive digital landscape to fend off the autumn chill.
