Behind Closed Doors an audio-visual installation between Luke Harris and Matthew Barton

Behind closed doors explores the relationship between our perceptual space and real space. Disused stations and maintenance shafts in subterranean London, out of sight and mind, form a network of passages long forgotten by the public. From walkways under London Euston, connecting the Northern line to the Victoria line to air ventilation shafts spanning from deep under Charing Cross station through to 100 meters above the surface. This is the amazing world of subterranean London. Sonic entities from the tunnels manifest the myriad of micro refractions and delays, washing through the tunnels like the sea over a pebbled beach. The sights and sounds of the exploration were a spectacle of engineering and technical craft that have formed a breathing, synthetic organism. We hope to demonstrate a small aspect of this hidden reality.
