Don't Look Back

A journey through the rooms, corridors, hallways and stairwells of specially chosen sites inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Orpheus and Eurydice, one of the greatest of all ancient myths, is about the perils of looking back. At the moment he turns his head to see Eurydice slipping back down into The Underworld, Orpheus is locked into a perpetual limbo - yearning for the past, aspiring to a future that will never be, unable to exist in the present.

DON'T LOOK BACK is a journey into the past.

As you wander through the rooms and corridors of each atmospheric interior, you will experience an accumulation of sounds, shadows, whispers, modelled landscapes, musical fragments and fleeting film images, conveying a heightened, dreamlike state that lingers long in the subconscious. The relentless collision and conjunction of past, present and future creates a sense of elusiveness and transience as if we are running after something that repeatedly evades us, or slips through our fingers as we seem to have it in our grasp.
