Thank you for your
interest in this project.
We are Ross Ashton and
Karen Monid and we have been commissioned by Illuminating York 2013 to create
an original artwork for this lighting festival, which takes place from the 30th
October to the 2nd November this year.
We work in projected
image and sound to create our works. Our
pieces are site specific and are inspired by the buildings and history of the
sites at which we work and their relationship with the people that live and
have lived there.
We use as much
original imagery, documents and scripts as we can to produce our work.
Take a look here to see some of our previous works.

We are looking for
volunteers who can be recorded either in York or London, or are willing and able to record themselves, who are speakers of and read Old Norse
and/or Old English. We’re aware that Icelandic people are able to also read Old
Norse, so Icelandic speakers are also very welcome! We will use sentences in
these languages and in modern English to build up the layers of sound that will
create this sound-world and will inform the images that will be projected.
If you are interested in
taking part and can spare a short time to read a few sentences in these ancient
languages and in modern English then do please email us here!
Once you get in touch with
us, we will open a direct line of communication with all volunteers so they
have more details about the final project.
We do not have a date
set yet for the recording sessions but it will be around 2 weeks from now.
Please contact Ross Ashton by email: ross@theprojectionstudio.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
