Lizzie King – Participant

Lizzie King is an artist working with alternative forms of photography and sound, with a focus on sustainable methods of practice. Her work explores the relationships between humans, other species, and the environment; investigating how sense of place is shaped through its specific combination of species and ecological conditions.

Wetlands/Floodlands is a binaural plant co-created piece, exploring the sonic world of the overflow for the River Irwell at Kersal Wetlands. A man-made nature reserve, it is home to a host of species and humans who use it as their recreational space. The recordings look to explore this intersection, the movement of the water and its man-made construction.

You’ll be invited to layer and shape the evolving soundscape through the living instruments of the wetlands.
