Take Wing (2008) |
||||
| Two screen, stereoscopic video installation. One screen shows the building of a remote control model glider build (45 mins. approx.), and the other footage from glider in flight (6 mins. approx.) on continuous loop. Commissioned by Electric Palace Cinema for the Shot by the Sea film festival in Hastings. Collaboration with video artist Brian McClave | ||||
| "A two screen, stereoscopic video that taps into romantic notions of flight and the desire to engineer solutions. The work combines Peacock’s love of modular construction and McClave’s fascination with stereoscopy and fondness for constructing ad hoc camera equipment. | ||||
| On one screen time-lapse of the fabrication of a model glider will be seen from the point of view of the artists constructing it. The other screen will show footage from the inaugural flight of the glider from cameras attached to the wings. | ||||
| McClave's father is an aeronautical engineer who has designed and built his own gliders: has this skill been passed down a generation? Will the glider the artists build fly gracefully or plummet straight to earth?" | ||||
