Anecdote: An Urban
Re-score by Andy Wood
Temple Works, Holbeck, Leeds (March 2006)
This large-scale video projection installation with a rural sound-scape
was part of the Secrets & Light series commissioned by the Culture
Company and ran from dusk till dawn for a week.
Temple Works is an extraordinary building in the heart of old industrial
Leeds. It is a copy of the temple to Horus at Edfu in Egypt and was built
as a flax mill in the 1840’s. Its flat roof was turfed for insulation
and it is said that a flock of sheep grazed on it. Guardian article here |
