Justin Bennett—A Heap of Stones
A Heap of Stones is an ongoing project that focuses on the landscape, ecology, and culture around the village of Shap, UK. The area has a long and complex relation with stone, lying at the geological boundary between limestone and granite. It is home to many prehistoric stone monuments, such as stone circles and burial mounds. Stone has been extracted by industry there from Paleolithic times to the present day. Layers of sound are recorded and mixed on location, and when presented through multiple loudspeakers, they create a fictional space that emerges from the process of (re)listening to the landscape. The work combines the sounds of stones, water, weather, wildlife, and industrial machinery.
Justin Bennett ‘s work combines sound, image, space and storytelling. Bennett makes work for public spaces as well as art spaces and concert venues. He works with field recordings of busy cities and desolate landscapes as well as electronic and acoustic instruments.
