The work was installed for a one-off evening event entitled, 'The Fractured Body: The House as Body' curated by Mobile Studio as part of The Surreal House exhibition at Barbican Art Gallery. DESCRIPTION 'The Family' is a sound installation that takes the form of a staircase. The work acts to isolate the mundane and evoke a reaction from the banality of normal objects and their modified sounds. The staircase piece plays a series of collected sounds based around the daily entrance and exit of a family from their home. Each step has a sound of its own, relating to a specific family member. Adjacent to the installation is a film made from the actions and sounds of the family members which becomes choreographed where the actors play the roles of the family and each 'play' their own set sequences and in turn question the overlap and role of the family in relationships to the house.
