Aztecs in Liverpool
Video installation at the Walker Art Gallery as part of the Liverpool Biennial by
Michael Nyman, the composer.
The installation
features a new piece of music by him and film from his 20 years living in
Mexico. What I saw of it was quite enthralling and included an interesting
sequence on the two video screen of different photographer, a professional and
a street photographer. However the whole thing was very long and I was not sure
I wanted to give that much time to a work in an art gallery.
The Codex
Fejervary-Mayer, a Mexican codex from the World Museum down the road, which had
been the inspiration for the piece, was shown in the same room as the
installation.
