Promotional film for Undercurrent - an original artwork to accompany the elevated walkway The Tide, for the Turning Tides Festival in July 2019. Over several months Scanner has collected recordings from beneath your very feet, capturing the sounds that we never hear. From earthworms burrowing their way through the soil, to fish in the Thames, to the electrical hum of machinery deep beneath the surface, Undercurrent celebrates a world invisible to the eye but ever active. Collaging these into a cinematic work for the ears, you are encouraged to traverse the walkway and tune into this unique world of sonic exploration, where even in the seeming silence there is a magical sound world. FREE entry - wireless headphones provided.
