Ice House Fire House

Artist: David Ryan

The installation, to be housed in the historic fire truck building adjacent to the Queens Gardens, comprises video animation projection with original electronic music as well as objects and models with lighting.

The work represents an exchange of observations and meanings between nature, culture and history to create a journey through an environment derived both literally and metaphorically from the alpine and glacier regions where each element is a referential prop to a future dystopia.
