Lulu Quinn: Submerged Identities (1995)

Lulu Quinn works with sculpture, video and installation and has produced numerous works for public spaces and galleries in the UK and internationally. Facilitated by Picture This and funded by the Art Council of England and South West Arts.

Submerged Identities was a site specific video installation, the first work of its kind to be presented at Tate Gallery St Ives. The work responded to the gallery architecture, coastal location and Cornish history. A large copper tunnel installed in the gallery contained a video sequence of sea tides and sewage systems overlaid with cycles of images reflecting the hurling ceremony, an annual St Ives feast day. The sound track mixes the rhythm of the sea with readings by the Cornish Bard, George Ansell and industrial & wildlife recordings.

Exhibition:
23 September – 29 October 1995, Tate Gallery, St Ives
