Thyra Hilden & Pio Diaz,  Kirche im Feuer, 2008 “Salamander shall kindle, Writhe nymph of the wave, In the air sylph shall dwindle, And kobold shall slave…. Vanish in the fiery flow. Undine! Shimmer in the meteor’s glam, Sylphide!… … I’ll sting you with fire that’s holy! Don’t wait for the bright Triple glowing Light!” (Goethe, Faust, part 1) 

Thyra Hilden & Pio Diaz,  Kirche im Feuer, 2008

“Salamander shall kindle, 
Writhe nymph of the wave, 
In the air sylph shall dwindle, 
And kobold shall slave…. 
Vanish in the fiery flow. 
Undine! 
Shimmer in the meteor’s glam, 
Sylphide!… 
… 
I’ll sting you with fire that’s holy! 
Don’t wait for the bright 
Triple glowing Light!” 
(Goethe, Faust, part 1) 

Doug Foster, The Heretics’ Gate, 2010, Installation view in Michael’s church, Camden

Single-channel digital film installation HD colour - stereo sound 9’40” seamless loop Projector, HD media player, arched projection screen and shallow reflecting pool, Dimensions variable Edition of three plus one artist’s proof also 55” HD LCD screen with HD media player 128 x 75 x 8 cm, Edition of five plus two artist’s proofs

This large scale digital film installation, created for Lazarides’ Hell’s Half Acre exhibition in 2010, was inspired by Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. The Heretics’ Gate represents Dante’s entry point into the Sixth Circle of Hell, where non-believers burn for eternity in furnace-like tombs. The fiery, ectoplasmic forms were created with liquid and light. The score is by UNKLE (J Lavelle, P Clements and J Griffith).
