[c-o-n-f-l-u-x]

I’ve now uploaded the video for Dismantle the Sun (2015) to Bandcamp. This is the piece that set me on the #hauntology path five years ago, which has resulted in several albums, two exhibitions and a PhD. It was originally conceived as a projection work for condemned buildings and is a meditation on transience and memory of place. The film can be watched alongside all the other CC vids on my new Bandcamp video page here: https://confluxcoldwell.bandcamp.com/video #memoryofplace #time #changingcity #spectrality #fieldrecordings #ambientnoise #videoart #abandonedplaces #soundscape https://www.instagram.com/p/CCs9Vtonhzy/?igshid=jqzcmagxwx81

Unknown Memory

At a deeper level, a family is an incredible intertwining of multiple streams of ancestry, memory, shadow, and light. Each home hosts the arrival of history and assists the departure of new destiny. The walls of the home contain immense happenings that occur gradually under the subtle veil of normality. Though each family is a set of new individuals, ancient relics and residues seep through from past generations. Except for our parents and grandparents, our ancestors have vanished. Yet ultimately and proximately, it is the ancestors who call us here. We belong to their lifeline. While they ground our unknown memory, our continuity bestows on them a certain oblique eternity. In our presence we entwine past and future.

~ John O'Donohue
