11:18 are four artists from London, Northern Ireland, Iceland and Thailand.
We specialise in making audio and installation based performances for real train journeys. Audience members are given a set of wireless headphones; board a regular, scheduled train and then watch and listen.
The train window acts as a natural frame for the action. By designing audio stimuli, installations/performances on platforms and elsewhere, we aim to trigger a collective and personal response and heighten an audience’s awareness of the particular questions that the journey raises. We explore ways in which landscapes acquire performative qualities and how journeys can affect how we, as citizens relate to our environment. 11:18 aims to create work that pushes the definition of site-specific performance, while being accessible, engaging and thrilling for its audiences.
