Eavesdropping

In busy railway stations everyday activities and dramas are occurring. Do you ever wonder where everyone is going or what is happening in their lives? "Audio Obscura" by Lavinia Greenlaw takes you to the edge of this space.

Like camera obscura (defined as a darkened enclosure in which outside images are projected) audio obscura places you to an audio equivilant. Snatches of a conversation, thoughts heard out loud, sometimes dark dramas are played out. Put on the headphones and wander around the station and you will be drawn into another world.

On at St Pancras International Station until October 23.
