> UNMAKEABLELOVE (2008)
Unmakeablelove © Sarah Kenderdine & Jeffrey Shaw UNMAKEABLELOVE takes place in a world of constraint and deprivation, evoking in postmodern abstraction a space resonating with Dante's Purgatorio. Inspired by the writings of Samuel Beckett, UNMAKEABLELOVE focuses and makes interactively tangible a state of confrontation and interpolation between our selves and a society that is operating in a severe state of physical and psychological entropy. We imagine that the space they live in could a prison, an asylum, a detention camp, an extreme 'reality TV' show or a debased exercise in totalitarian engineering.
> PLACE-Hampi (2006)
PLACE-Hampi © Sarah Kenderdine & Jeffrey Shaw PLACE-Hampi is an embodied theatre of participation in the drama of Hindu mythology focused at the most significant archaeological, historical and sacred locations of the World Heritage site Vijayanagara (Hampi), South India. Enfolded in this interactive installation, viewers explore a virtual landscape of panoramic locations enlivened by animated mythological events that reveal the folkloric imagination of contemporary pilgrims active at the temple complex. Comprised of high resolution augmented stereoscopic panoramas and surrounded by a rich aural field Place-Hampi articulates an unprecedented level of viewer co-presence in a narrative re-discovery of a cultural landscape.
