Totally Thames - Tidal Traces: Art Trail and Video Work


  • The Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garret 9 Saint Thomas Street London, England, SE1 9RY United Kingdom (map)

Tidal Traces draws attention to issues relating to the River Thames through a series of free-hanging installations, time-lapse video and workshop.

Irma Irsara continues her exploration of environmental issues, looking at material that finds its way into the Thames through natural phenomena and human activity, and the impact on the health of the river’s eco-system and the surrounding population. She recovers debris from the foreshore to create work using video, cyanography, chromatography and micrography to represent both the visible and the invisible, in particular micro fibre plastic and pharmaceutical contaminants.
