ART INSTALLATION
Opening performance for Manchester International Festival, 2023. For "Each Tiny Drop" by Risham Syed, with Kinetic Artworks by Savinder Bual
Five outdoor sound sculptures . These were made of steel, glass and terracotta roof tiles. The works were inspired by tipping bucket rain gauges.
Water bearers filled buckets positioned on top of the sculptures with long handled ladles. The water trickled through each bucket onto two pieces of bamboo, causing them to seesaw and distribute water into two glass funnels. As the bamboo seesaws hit the glass they created sound. The water ran down a series of roof tiles into claypots held by audiences at the beginning of their journey around the park. 1000 people attended this evening event.
