Auditorium is a direct response to Glyndebourne Opera House, both as a physical site and as a centre of music and performance with a rich and celebrated history. The opera house is a striking landmark set against the rolling Sussex Downs and also the vehicle for Glyndebourne's epic productions that involve the massive co-ordination of an international company of singers, musicians, designers, technicians and producers. Sophy Rickett and Ed Hughes' film goes to the heart of this vast production house, bringing together their artistic values and interest in modernist forms, and strongly echoing Sophy Rickett's photographic work. The film uncompromisingly strips back the operatic space to its architectural and theatrical core, using simple, slow movement that transforms the interior of the building in a monumental caress of light and shadow. Ed Hughes' musical score overlays the film's formal, grid-like structures with its own elements of line and rhythm while adding further dimensions of musical space and colour. Auditorium is a two-screen presentation, giving the work a distinctive sculptural quality. The images are visible on both sides of each screen so the film is experienced in the round, enveloped by Hughes' accompanying sound-scape.
