Body Clock Installation

Uncategorized

Body Clock is a giant sound installation, marking the passing of time.

Angel House, Fri 20 & Sat 21 May
for Home Live Art as part of Brighton Festival

A vertical grand piano swings perpetually from side to side, like a giant metronome marking time.  A near-immovable piece of furniture rendered weightless. Sparked by the internal ticking of her own call to motherhood, Body Clock by Sarah Nicolls is a contemplation on the perpetual motion of our inner cycles.
