'walkman/lake' (2001) documents a performance on Coniston Water in the Lake District. Coniston Water is the location of Donald Campbell's fatal attempt to break the world water speed record in his boat the Bluebird.

The performance consists of a walkman playing Richard Strauss's 'Metamorphosen' being rowed out into the middle of Coniston Water and lowered into the lake. The sound of the walkman is fed directly into the camera filming the performance, documenting the walkman's demise as water seeps into its workings.

  • @cuppacreations Hi, the sound from the walkman was recorded onto the dictaphone which was dubbed onto the video afterwards. Glad you liked it, good luck with the dissertation!

  • this is great! I'm mentioning this in my dissertation.

    How is the sound from the walkman directly fed to the camera?
