Albion Waves by Oliver Beer
London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE
9 February – 15 July 2023
Albion Waves is the title of Oliver Beer’s solo show and immersive new commission that reveal the hidden sounds of 2000 years of British vessels. A constellation of suspended vessels with microphones inside, each object’s ‘voice’ is amplified when the microphones are turned on, each one triggered when movement sensors on the ceiling detect the visitors’ presence. As you stroll by, each container emanates a low murmur in your direction, creating serene atmospheric tunes.
