The Visitation
A sound walk inspired by the 2016 appearance of the Harlem Deer. Created for Jackie Robinson Park.A meditation on the presence of the mythic in the everyday and the uneasy relationship between the built environment and the natural world. A soundscape threaded through with the ethereal voice of the deer becomes a visceral sonic journey through our longing for the solace of the wild, The Visitation charts the histories and hauntings of a particular urban geography, embedded within the geology of time.
