Sam Belinfante has collaborated with St. Peter’s School and numbers of artists and composers to create a mobile sculptural performance On the Circulation of Blood, a reference to William Harvey’s key medical textbook of 1648 De Motu Cordis.
On the Circulation of Blood takes shape as a dramatic, outdoor installation constructed from specially adapted theatrical apparatuses, bespoke fabric netting and a lighting and audio system. The structure – to be found in two different locations at different times - becomes the site for public performances, amassing an ensemble of professional and amateur musicians. Performers will sing duets, whilst processing and carrying poles, lights and netting from one place to another, referencing some of the unusual physical interconnections across the town.
Throughout the Triennial exhibition, fragments of specially composed music can be heard as a part of the installation and at sunset the sounds will be replaced by visual pulsation in the form of glowing theatrical orbs.
