BREAKING UP

I have been working on a self designed project to record the demolition of the Cranfield's Mill site on the Ipswich waterfront. CDC Demolition Ltd are being very helpful in allowing me to work with them as a resident artist for a few months. During this time I have installed video cameras and sound recording equipment inside the demolition areas. Some of the cameras have been destroyed along with the building, but they have in the process captured some extraordinary imagery. Locally I shall be projecting some of this footage onto the surfaces of the building in the evenings effectively turning it inside out.


I showed the first version of the work in Peterborough in December 2005 - see the images below

 

Thanks to all the people who shared memories of working at Cranfield's and for the gifts of old cameras
