'Creating the Spectacle!' Online - Part 1 - Finding Freedom
'Creating the Spectacle!' is a ground breaking series of live art and film events that record an underwater wheelchair as it flies through the water with its human occupant.
This video work was supported by LOCOG and the Arts Council through an Unlimited Commission for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
In 'Part 1 - Finding Freedom', The underwater wheelchair enables Sue Austin to go on a gentle, dream like exploration of an exotic underwater world.
Through unexpected juxtapositions, this work aims to excite and inspire by creating images that transform preconceptions.
'Creating the Spectacle!' Online - Part 2- Finding the Flame
This is the second film in the 'Creating the Spectacle!' Online series. It was a special commission from LOCOG for the Paralympic Flame Festivals. Just push play!
