For his fourth solo exhibition at the gallery, David Cotterrell presented three works from the Mirror project: a series of two-screen works produced in collaboration with Ruwanthie de Chickera at London’s Danielle Arnaud Gallery.

The travelling exhibition was open from 25 February to April 1.

Mirror III: Horizon examines what might transpire between two strangers if their communication was reduced to the language of lights. Filmed in Malta, set against the dramatic edges of the island’s stunning coast and contextualized by the island’s deep historical experience of visitors who arrived repeatedly by sea, the installation draws on the fluctuating paranoia of the current refugee crisis. Mirror III examines what might possibly be communicated between strangers if their words were reduced to beams of light and their faces need never be revealed.

The art installation comprises two VOID installations by GBvi, each presenting video media of a Pakistani guard communicating with the other in the secondary VOID. A suspended dome speaker above the installation ensures visitors only experience both sight and sound when underneath the audio and between each of the VOID stations.

VOID, an infinity display experience for educational spaces, attractions and themed experiences, uses special display techniques and light path management to create extreme depth cues and illusions of distance – so that viewers and audiences are provided with a sense of peering into space.

“It’s very difficult to transfer the sensation of place into reality. People can’t understand or recreate this experience from an illustration or image alone and we wanted to generate a sense of emotion and understanding from this installation. The VOID allowed us to do just that.” explains artist David Cotterrell.

“It was important that visitors became fully immersed and engaged with the media. We will continue to use this technology and refine how we apply it in future installations to continue innovating with depth cues and immersion in art.”

Available in a range of size, brightness, projection performance and playback configurations up to ultra-high contrast 4K, VOID is built to deliver realistic, immersive experiences.
