Format
Installation, main hall
Changing Pace builds and takes apart an empty warehouse with light. Beams move across the architecture of The Beams, in London’s Royal Docks, showing only parts of the space at a time until the whole building has been assembled. White light comes towards you and moves away, rhythmic and arrhythmic, intensified by the soundscape; an orange light, after the sun through the windows, starts as a point of rest and gathers pace until everything is revealed.
It was made for Broadwick Live as The Beams opened, and installed and filmed in the main hall on 7 and 8 June 2022.
