SOLITUDE

Durham, United Kingdom

Finchale Priory, Framwellgate Moor, County Durham

Unique site-specific installation transformed the historic Finchale Priory—a 12th-century outpost of Durham Cathedral and the former hermitage of St Godric—into a luminous reflection on solitude and spiritual strength.

Project was inspired by the life of St Godric, the work explores themes of loneliness, inner resilience, patience, and peace. Light and sound converge to create a hauntingly atmospheric experience that invites quiet contemplation among the ancient ruins.

The installation is accompanied by an evocative 9.0 soundscape by Sylvain Moreau, featuring subtle references to music attributed to Godric himself.
