Soundings is an immersive three-screen video and sound installation by Emma Critchley that explores the depths of the ocean. Blending a wide range of footage relating to the deep-sea and its pervading narratives with soundscapes and dance, Critchley confronts pressing questions about deep-sea mining and its impact on the planet.
Throughout the day, live dance performances will animate the work, deepening the connection between the viewer and the creatures on screen.
This is the first in a series of performances that will take place at Tate St Ives throughout the exhibition.
(Originally devised with dancer, Maya Carroll and choreographer Siobhan Davies)
