WORK

Re-Move is a large-scale audio-visual installation by Urban Projections and composer CJ Mirra, developed in collaboration with Inspire Youth Arts and young people from Nottinghamshire. Premiering at Nottingham Light Night 2023, the work uses projection and sound to transform historic architecture into a space for reflection on climate, movement and displacement.

The project focuses on the human impact of environmental change, exploring what it means to be forced to move as landscapes shift. Rather than telling a single narrative, the work builds an abstract environment shaped by light, sound and fragments of voice, allowing audiences to move through and form their own connections.

Re-Move builds on earlier work, States of Matter (2022), shifting the focus from environmental systems to lived experience. It was developed in dialogue with Tom Vickers at Nottingham Trent University, whose research into migration and social justice informed the piece. Audio drawn from interviews with people affected by climate displacement is woven into the soundscape, grounding the work in real experiences without becoming didactic.

The installation creates a layered environment of moving image and spatial sound, designed to surround the audience and shift over time. Re-Move holds space for reflection rather than resolution - bringing together collaboration, research and public engagement to consider a complex and ongoing issue.
