Ok, so I didn’t think this one through entirely.
1. You are not allowed to take photographs in the galleries of Tate Modern.
2. It’s generally so quiet and people are walking around looking for interesting things that I felt even more self-conscious about talking.
So 3. There are many more edits than usual but fewer photographs and not much of *my* voice at all. It’s mostly those exhibits that make a sound and the sounds of people taking tours and talking to each other.
The Tate Modern site has more on the Bruce Nauman sound installation including an interactive version that doesn’t quite match the reality because the only sounds that overlap are adjacent ones – as you can hear from the recording, you can actually hear everything reverberating around the huge space of the Turbine Hall.

Perfect Path 
Wow! What a happy accident to have stumbled across a sound installation. I think you could sell your master recording as an art piece–“Conceptual Artist Lloyd Davis takes us inside a conceptual soundscape in a surreal journey from alpha to omega in the Tate Modern.” You are no doubt blowing minds across the world with the infinite loop nature of this concept, man. . . .It’s like the Tate has been turned into a carnival–horror tunnel, honky tonk saloon, and sound-exhibit of the real, modern world. British, Architectural History lecture thrown in for emphasis. The philosophical dilemma to clean, or not begs the further question of , “are the internal exhibits being affected or “controlled” by the external appearance of any gallery they appear in: does one space ‘work’ and another, merely play host to, an exhibit?” Clearly, a sound installation is not the same in Westminster, Kings Cross, or the Barbican. . . .here, the frontage of the Thames clearly gives the Tate and aesthetic advantage ;-p An overwhelming, intense 19minutes 25 seconds. Having heard it on my computer, I’ll have to listen to the nuances on my mp3. Too cool.
Yeah, that lecture at the end was really weird, it’s part of the collection, but also about the collection and about the building – I guess it’s Tate Postmodern ha ha.
I’m glad it turned out OK – I quite like it now but wasn’t at all sure what was going to happen after I’d stepped through the doors and heard someone shouting “Thank you, Thank you, Thank you…”
