The Cave Mouth And The Giant Voice

The Cave Mouth and the Giant Voice is a new installation by Rupert Cox and Angus Carlyle that participates in the Staging Disorder exhibition at London College of Communication, curated by Esther Teichmann and Christopher Stewart and running from the 26th of January until 12th of March. Presented as a ten minute single screen and multichannel work, it explores the memory of Okinawan islander Yogi-San of his experiences sheltering from the 1945 US Naval bombardment - the 'typhoon of steel'. The words onscreen combine Yogi-San's testimony - a full transcript of which is available in the exhibition guide - with a pared down commentary.
