About the work

ARTIST: JOSEPH YOUNG

The island of Ireland has been subject to many climatic events over the centuries and the idea of ​​the storm has particular resonance for our post-pandemic era.

The text you hear comes from a poem by Sir Thomas Wyatt (1536) after witnessing the beheading of Anne Boleyn, the reverberations of which resonated throughout the kingdom. Now, as we consider a very different world unfolding in the future, the stillness of Alexandra Park offers us a space in which to consider the echoes of what came before and what is yet to come…
