WORK

Fallen From the Same Tree is an audio-visual installation by Urban Projections and sound artist CJ Mirra, developed in collaboration with students from Magnus Church of England Academy.

Based in Nottinghamshire, Rebecca’s practice is closely connected to the landscapes of the region, including Sherwood Forest and its surrounding woodlands. This context feeds directly into the project, which explores our relationship with woodland environments through sound and light.

The work began with time spent outdoors, where students recorded local woodlands - gathering birdsong, movement, and quieter background textures that often go unnoticed. These recordings form the basis of the sound work, developed into a layered composition that moves between recognisable and abstract.
In parallel, students worked with lighting and projection to build a visual environment using volumetric light, treating light as a material that could shape and define the space. The installation brings these elements together into a responsive environment, where sound and light shift in relation to each other.

Fallen From the Same Tree is rooted in a collaborative process, with the students’ recordings, ideas and responses forming the core of the work, connecting local landscape, shared experience, and spatial practice.
