In Situ 

In Situ, sound installation composed of hand drawn maps, analog photography and a sound piece that explores perception of the (in)audible and the (in)visible of the Elephant and Castle roundabout in London. The focus is on the five main points of intersection surrounding the E&C roundabout, all of which are composed of a complex sonic atmosphere, where layers of rhythms, vibrations, densities, frequencies and temporalities overlap and resonate through space. The maps and the audio - a journey through the three layers of E&C: its underground, surface and up-above - question borders and limitations in a place filled with man-made boundaries.

The place in South London is known for its transient character and loud sounds, dominated by sirens and engines. Often drowned by the urban noise, In Situ is the result of a research that focuses on E&C’s inherent, yet underlying and potentially vanishing sounds. The E&C shopping center, the first American style mall in London, opened in 1965 and disappeared in 2022 demolished by a massive regeneration plan that changed the Southwark borough.

Drips

Drips is a transatlantic conversation between visual, performance and vocal artist Anna Homler and Ava Halloran, who was particularly interested in Homler’s Pharmacia Poetica collection, her own invented language and her early performance work, the Breadwoman. 
In response to the Her Noise archive, the dreamlike exchange follows themes of communication, sound, gender and archive.
