Tim Etchells at Latitude

July 19th, 2010 · Uncategorized

Forced Entertainment’s Artistic Director Tim Etchells was invited to present work as part of Latitude Festival’s Latitude Contemporary Art Exhibition.

Run Down (2010), a new commission for Latitude Contemporary Art, is a sound installation with speakers positioned among the forest trees and quad sound. It stages a chaotic chase in the woods – somewhere between horror film, thriller chase and game. “Run Down is a looping, phasing repeating sound work that seems to circle and criss-cross the location, doubling the sounds of the forest itself, and summoning an invisible and ambiguous drama of pursuit,” writes Etchells.
