NINE

About

‘NINE’ is a new body of work by Bobbi Cameron commissioned by HOP Projects CT20 as part of Surface Tensions 2020 Part II programme, ‘Contra Culture’. It is a 6-channel sound installation 

that draws upon the artist’s autobiography and contemporary queer discourses to navigate realms beyond the human. 

Stemming from an ongoing research practice that explores queer phenomenology, (dis)orientation and their combined effects on architecture and landscape, Cameron embarked upon a journey encountering and sharing conversations with psychics and mediums to explore how communal disorientation can be experienced with spiritual beings. It was her intention to access this from a theoretical perspective, exploring how it feels to be connected with spirits and how these connections can alter our perceptions of space, place and architecture. 

However, through the process of making this work, Cameron was invited to step inside this realm to personally collaborate with spirits, ghosts and entities. ‘NINE’ is an outcome of this process, it explores the personal impacts of opening up your space to spirits, how it impacts those of us physically living and how it can change, not just our interpretations of landscape, but ourselves entirely.
