NORTH is a multi-movement installation based on Childs’ time in the Arctic. NORTH combines recorded music performed by Zeitgeist, projected imagery of northern snowscapes, and a subtle scent (which Childs designed) to create an immersive environment in which to consider our northernmost lands and their connection to all of us wherever we live.
Commissioned by Zeitgeist as part of their DECADE FIVE project.
Supported by grants to Childs from the MAP Fund.
