Susan Philipzs "Lowlands" sound installation under the George V bridge by the River Clyde in Glasgow.

Part of the Glasgow International Festival Of Visual Art 2010.

'Songs as memorials; the presence of the past in empty spaces'

'So the song, while functioning as a memorial to something lost, is nevertheless very much alive, a half-full vessel that is topped up each time it is reframed by new contexts and references.'

'The emptiness of the white spaces in which they are heard produces in the viewer an increased awareness of their surroundings.'
