Kristina Inčiūraitė
Under the Same Sky was an immersive audio-visual installation by Lithuanian artist Kristina Inčiūraitė, situated in St. Luke’s Church in Cork city and produced in collaboration with Dr. Eva McMullan-Glossop and University College Cork Choir as part of Cork Midsummer Festival.
Kristina Inčiūraitė's Under the Same Sky showcased the unique Irish landscape of the Burren National Park with a vocal soundscape of wild nature based on observations and imagination. This mysterious sound and visual experience encourages us to explore questions around climate change: can biodiversity be sustained in our individual and collective memory? Are we able to be less anthropocentric when faced with globalisation and rapid climate change? Can we imagine communities that are not shaped by human superiority? Through collaboration with Dr. Eva McMullan-Glossop and University College Cork Choir, the work featured a vocal soundscape of wild nature based on observations and imagination.
