Collateral Landscapes by Rodrigo Romero-Flores.
This exhibition will run from Wednesday 2nd July until Thursday 10th July.
Open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm.
Collateral Landscapes is an immersive visual and sonic project exploring the emotional aftermath of romantic collapse. It traces the ruins left by love—not as personal failure, but as the consequence of an inherited, idealised narrative. Using ambisonic audio technology, field recordings, and layered textures, the work constructs a multi-sensory environment shaped by fragmentation and disorientation. Through fractured imagery, spatial soundscapes, and poetic reflections, it invites viewers to inhabit emotional geographies marked by loss, solitude, and the slow reconstruction of meaning.
Collateral Landscapes was funded by the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and developed with the support of the DAS XR Lab, and SARC: Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Sound and Music at Queen’s University Belfast.
Rodrigo Romero-Flores is a chilean poet, sound composer and visual artist, based in Northern Ireland. He studied Hispanic Language and Literature at the Universidad de Chile and Field Recording: Soundscape Composition at Goldsmiths, University of London.
His artistic practice relates to the sonic exploration of memory, the contrast between the sublime and the everyday, the passage of time and the sense of loss in a highly technological world. The tension between the present and the absent runs through all his works.
