Staged
Kim Coleman & Jenny Hogarth
The City Observatory, on the summit of Calton Hill in Edinburgh, soars above the city and sits beneath the heavens. It is a perfect location to survey the urban population and to scan the stars. With Staged, Kim Coleman & Jenny Hogarth bring those possibilities into conjunction, drawing on the long scientific history of the observatory while devising an installation that mixes live and pre-recorded footage from CCTV cameras around the city.

Staged is a Scottish Government Expo Project and part of the Edinburgh Art Festival
