»What’s on the other side?«, 1998-2000. The aim of this project is to get a “sample of the opposite point” of a particular location, here showing the territory where land matches to land.
»Children’s Museum«, 1997. After the excursion in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Vadim Fishkin asked the students, who ranged from 7 to 12 years old, to create their own “museums” in their own homes using things significant to them. He suggested that they arrange the objects on top of their beds and photograph the resulting installations with disposable cameras. The images, which were exhibited, are the photographs chosen by each student that best represent the message he or she wished to convey to the world
»Tierfick« (1998) and further videos by Gelitin.
»1982« (2000) is an installation of light and sound at the subway station Gerdesiaweg/Rotterdam. The existing illumination is transformed into a light organ. The lights respond disco-like to the music playing over the intercom. This music consists of hits from 1982, the year the station was built. The replacement of the entire interior is also the end of this installation, which is meant as an ode to the year of the station’s construction.
»GIF Museum« (2006) is a pocketmovie for mobile phones constructed from a collection of found GIF’s. Both works by Peter Vink.
Starmaker (dual medium format slide/audio installation) entangles the realms of natural and cultural history and science fiction so that we can appreciate the oddities of both. A medium format slideshow of images – including dioramas in the American Museum of Natural History, rose farming in Ecuador, Dutch tulip fields, container ships and the coastline of the UK – is accompanied by field recordings and electronic sounds sampled from sci-fi movies. A version of the soundtrack to Starmaker can be listened to online. By Heather & Ivan Morison.
A further project is a 80 minute sound work for outdoor speakers Birds of North West Ecuador a collection of announced recordings of all the birds that Ivan spotted whilst birdwatching in the cloud forests of Ecuador.
