Another rounding of facts focused on the results of the Australian Bureau of Statistics 1996 research into Deaths in Custody and Custody Related Events. Digital metronomes atop seven-foot tall stands beeped out the statistical findings of six of the areas researched. Each viewer was asked to enter the installation room alone and to follow a specific path. The arhythmic pattern of sound called to mind mourning bells or cries of lamentation.
This work was installed in the studio artist’s exhibition space at 200 Gertrude St in 1999.
