Memory Floods Tim Gruchy 2008 He Korowai o te Wai The Mantle of Water Rotorua Museum 3 channel video installation Curator . Ian Wedder
Over
fifteen years ago I was fortunate to have experienced the astonishing
'water organ' performing in the Orchid House in Rotorua - hundreds
of water jets theatrically choreographed at high speed to recorded
classical music. Returning to the site in 2005 brought a flood of
memories. This work is a tribute to the possessed vision that inspired
that fountain and to the power of memory. Floods have the potential
to overwelm us when we least expect, and they come in many forms;
floods of water, recollections, ideas and regeneration. They are an
unavoidable reminder of excess and containment. |
