Standing Ground, part of Nottingham Light Night 2024, is a stunning immersive light and sound experience, exploring our relationship with the natural world.

As we enter a period of accelerated climate uncertainty, the work seeks to find resolution in our connection with nature, and a pathway to hope and optimism. 

Created following a residency with the Harley Foundation, artists Urban Projections and CJ Mirra worked with Ecologist Simon Pickles and Zine artist Harry Hempsall in a collaboration with clients from Aebal care and support service, and Young People from Proto-Type Collective on the historic Welbeck Estate, North Nottinghamshire.   

Through exploration and play, field recordings were created which have been manipulated to create a soundscape expressing sounds of the forest; while AI has been used to create evolving image sequences following the study of ancient veteran trees and archival photographs. 

Warning: Contains flashing images and use of haze.
