'Nomadics' January 2005, Trinity Buoy Wharf, London | take tour | read quotes |

In January 2005, Nomadics teamed up with sculptor and illustrator Orly Orbach, and set-desinger/installation-artist/photographer Emily Orley to launch their collaborative debut at Trinity Buoy Wharf with a 4,000 sq foot installation titled 'Nomadics'. A full sensory experience, the installation explored both cultural and metaphysical understandings of ‘Nomadism’. To engage with the work, participants embarked on a journey through a no-mans land—a geography designed to alter the typical ways with which we engage with our environments.

“We are reminded of the small journeys that we make everyday, of the journeys that surround us and the ones that have preceded us.”

“ This is like the best moments of theatre, when nothing is happening or has yet happened and the stage is empty and buzzing and breathing."

'Phantasmagoria' October 2004, Hayward Gallery, London | take tour |

In October 2004, Nomadic-Collaborations designed a brief story-telling session in conjunction with an installation-environment exhibited in the the basement of the Hayward Gallery. The project was part of the Hayward Gallery's youth-outreach program. As participants wandered through the installation, they were recorded by webcameras and broadcast live on computers in the upper lobby. Accompanying the visual installation, was a recorded soundtrack. Text selections from the soundtrack will be coming soon!

... in collaboration with Orly Orbach and Emily Orley.
