Simulated Diegesis is a durational installation created for the ‘Rising to Float’ exhibition at Greatorex Street in London. The installation consisted of seven independent audio channels and light projection that spanned a 40-meter-long corridor. The piece was designed to explore transience whereby synthetic and pre-recorded sounds from the site were concealed with hidden speakers to playfully interact with visitors as they moved through the space.
Diegesis refers to the narrative elements of a film that are presented to the audience, such as sounds made by the characters or from the natural environment around them. A simulation of these elements created an artificial diegetic experience by design, challenging public perception, blending seamlessly with the natural sounds of the space to create a disorienting, immersive experience.
