Thanks to Mornington Peninsula Shire for funding ACROSS THE WATERS which included production of an incredible video BELLOW BELOW by Jo Lane and Diana Chester.
It is a 13 minute soundscape/image scape about Westernport – it is the sound of the sea, the shore, the mud, the heart, the lungs, the earth. See and hear an orchestra of sounds below our feet … transported to another world, hear sounds of life and action beyond the human aural capability spectrum.
By using highly sensitive hydrophones, the audio recorded at the edge or just below the wetlands, sand, sea and waters of Western Port Bay – a Ramsar listed site of international significance in Victoria, Australia – the video artwork creates the experience that is BELLOW BELOW. The teaming life below is exposed. A world beneath our ears.
You can read about it and see images and the video here or on our YouTube Channel.
