Greg Shapley is a new media artist and director of Don’t Look Gallery in Dulwich Hill. He most recently participated in the group show ‘Another Book for No Good Reason’ at Chrissie Cotter Gallery. Temporal Anomaly is a sound sculpture created specifically for Maundrell Park, comprising four audio channels dispersed throughout the park in small, self-contained units. Each of these units replays audio from previous recordings in the same locations, thus collapsing other ‘times’ into the present. The work questions what place is and how it changes and reinvents itself over time. It prompts us to consider if it is only our memory that insists we are standing where we stood yesterday, or if place is in fact a fixed vessel within which matter and energy fluctuate.
