Visual Arts :: Chris Watson: Whispering in the Leaves
Forma
Experience an uplifting offering on the fringe of the city created by a world-leading artist in sound environments. Acclaimed British sound artist Chris Watson creates an experiential environment that regenerates the spirit and enlivens a forgotten city site. The planetarium pyramid on The Esplanade comes alive with an atmospheric infusion of sounds from wildlife recordings and location recordings in the Americas.
Chris Watson was a founding member of UK experimental music band Cabaret Voltaire and his solo albums include the iconic Weather Report. He is noted for his exceptional recording work for natural history programs by David Attenborough.
