Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in a remote sea cave near Durness.

Film and sound stripped of ‘content’ and experienced spatially, to be looked at not on the screen but in the space of the gallery

A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
In a moment of social exhaustion, we want to ask how we might care for each other differently. We Can’t Live Without Our Lives is a 5-day exploration of care as a form of struggle and resistance, with communities who embody it.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
