Venue: Bait Al Serkal, ground floor
James Webb’s interdisciplinary practice examines the depths of audiovisual culture. His work often explores the materiality of sound through its contextualisation and spatialisation.
All that is unknown (2016), a stereo array of two speakers playing the sound of a human heartbeat, distils the vitality and fragility of life through the isolation and amplification of a pulse. Facing one another from opposite ends of the room, the naked speaker cones create a sonic environment that traverses the threshold of audibility, with the rhythm evoking a disembodied call and response that surround bodies in the exhibition space.
