A filmed body-centric collaboration.
Commission
A collaboration between Di and performer Hollie Miller.
Film
The idea behind Shuttleflock was to create a sound sculpture out of a shuttlecock. Di found a job-lot of 1970s shuttlecocks in a local shop close to her studio. She decided that they would make an interesting interactive sound instrument. She and Hollie embedded spherical magnets into each shuttlecock and made a metal helmet for them to stick to which they embedded inside a 1950s swimming hat. The idea was that the contact of each shuttlecock to Hollie’s head would trigger an unexpected sound. Tim Murray Brown provided the sounds and they made a short film in collaboration with Toby Summerskill and Sam Edwards.
