About

Entirely hollow aside from the dark is an immersive psychoacoustic sound event taking place inside ancient natural auditoriums carved into the underbelly of earth's crust. Using the cave as a physical metaphor for the mind the cavern personifies the consciousness of Mother Earth as she struggles with her worsening mental health, brought on by the human distressing of her body. In the darkness, an audible inner dialogue echoing Mother Earth's thoughts and regrets unfold and a symphony of choreographed sounds shifts around the cave mirroring processes of the human mind. Entirely hollow aside from the dark simultaneously aims to break down the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage environmental sustainability.
Entirely hollow aside from the dark is an artwork created by AlanJames Burns, made in collaboration with writer Sue Rainsford and sound editor Ian Dunphy.

The event is only suitable for over 16s, and is not suitable for anyone with claustrophobia or fear of the dark. Appropriate sturdy footwear and outdoor clothing suitable for the weather conditions on the day is advised. Torches will be provided. The audio presentation lasts around 20 minutes, with the whole visit expected to take around 40 minutes.
