Laguna Gloria

Liam Gillick has designed the communal area in level 2 of The Tower. Using film stills from his 2013 film Margin Time 2 (The Heavenly Lagoon), he has created an audio-visual landscape and a space which will be used for multiple activities. The film stills present grainy images of plants and natural environments and the idea is to create a room that resembles an artificial garden. Playing with the idea of nature as a given, and space as an agent in the production of realities, the installation becomes an inverted pavilion, centrally located within The Tower where the public and audiences can rest or transit. The notion of impermanence and artificiality are the key components of the work, which is a system of images and sounds that is made to evoke a both distant and close relationship to nature.
