This March, we are delighted to premiere a new film by Sam Laughlin. Falling wall, rising dust (2020) was especially commissioned to document the final chapter of John Hansard Gallery's former home on @uni_southampton’s Highfield Campus (1979–2018). . An immersive electronic soundtrack composed by musician Joe Deamer (@josi_devil) accompanies the slow motion demolition, intensifying and receding to the movement of the machinery. . The new project follows @samlaughlin90’s previous John Hansard Gallery commission, Constructions, in 2018. Using photographic stills, Laughlin was invited to capture the development of our new space in Guildhall Square. Both works focus on the make-up of a building, questioning the nature of the built environment. . Falling wall, rising dust is now streaming at www.jhg.art — until 30 April 2021. . . #samlaughlin #fallingwallrisingdust #jhglaughlin #joedeamer #jessdadds #soundtrack #newcommission #bwfilm #bwphotography #blackandwhitephotography #highfieldcampus #universityofsouthampton #johnhansardgallery #jhg #demolition #history #building #southampton #exhibition #nowstreaming #film #artistfilm #onlineexhibition #digitalprogramme #ACEsupported . @artsunisouth @uni_southampton @uos_engagement @uni_southampton_wsa @aceagrams @visualartssw @cvan_se @cvanetwork @southamptoncitycouncil @southampton2025 @southamptoncityartgallery @ght_soton @aspacearts @visit_soton @sotonbloggers @solentuniversity @sotonstories @union_soton @solent_showcase_gallery @photoworks_uk @jerwoodarts @townergallery @grain_projects @filmvidumbrella
