Description: | Staged was a site-specific work created in the heart of Edinburgh. Silent live footage from cameras placed around the city was projected around the walls of the William Henry Playfair designed City Observatory, and astronomical observatory built in 1776. The architectural interior functioned as a digital camera obscura or magic lantern, representing the fabric of the city as a series of seductive close-ups. Between shots the cameras scanned their surroundings, zooming out and in, briefly revealing the context of their location. Staged drew unprecedented number of visitors to Edinburgh’s City Observatory, and of the Edinburgh Art Festival. Staged was a collaboration with Jenny Hogarth and was made possible through Edinburgh Art Festival. The work was produced by the Collective. |
