Ancestral Voices installation view Ancestral Voices was a site-specific video commissioned by Picture This for the crypt of St Nicholas Church, Bristol.
In the absence of daylight the subterranean medieval architecture of the crypt becomes a focal point of the work – revealed by the camera and cool light of video. The space, the technology, the lone spectator – a vital part of the encounter.
