I have created two 'Whispering Walls' that will share ideas about the the life and actions of the man behind the paintings using speakers hidden behind the images. One wall addresses his his careers as a diplomat, the other, his travels across the world.
Each wall visually references ideas of Phychogeography using imagery of Rubens paintings to prompt a new understanding. While sonically the walls explore field recordings of place and space aswell as concrete poetry style dialogue.
