Tapping into your Imagination

Inspired by Russian writer Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky's playful story of ‘The Runaway Fingers’, ‘Tapping into your Imagination’ is an interactive installation which invites you sit at a writer’s workspace, explore the keys of a 1930s typewriter and shape your thoughts into words or sentences, paragraphs or pages, poetry or prose. Will your fingers break free of their constraints and follow their flight of fancy to freedom? 'The Book of the Unknown Writers' is a collection of the typewritten pages produced by visitors during the exhibition. 'Talking Keys' The accompanying sound work loosely follows the structure of a four-part symphony, and is a playful dialogue between the keys of the typewriter and the keys of the piano.
