YOU CAN'T UNRING A BELL / THE FLOOD MY CHANTING

A series of bells were temporarily installed through central Wellington, New Zealand in a circuit curving from the waterfront though the central city and back to the sea. The line which the bells collectively delineate corresponded to the part of the central city most under threat from future flooding. By mapping the space of the city with sound, the project considered the relationship of the built environment to Wellington’s natural topography. A chain reaction of sound was activated by the sound of one bell reaching the position of the next. This sound cue was acted on by ringers running between the bell stations.
