Water Works (Nicolas Collins 1980)

An acoustically variable room-within-a-room. A patchwork tent of old sails is hung from pulleys. Water ballast is pumped between buckets suspended from the tent. The redistribution of water weight causes sections of the fabric to rise and fall. Installation at PS1, London Island City, Sept.- Nov. 1980. Video shot and edited by Shalom Gorewitz. My earliest installation project for which I have video documentation. Long and pretty minimal.
