The Tell Tale Rooms is a 12-minute father/daughter collaboration by Andrew and Eden Kötting, experienced as an immersive installation, that leads us on a journey into artist, Eden’s, fantastical world.

The Tell-Tale Rooms is situated inside a VR replica of an old farm-house deep in the French Pyrenees. The real Story house has been home to Eden and Andrew Kötting on-and-off for over 30 years but once we enter the house, compiled using photogrammetry, Eden takes us on a journey into places that we have not been before. In this world you walk amongst the artworks, memories and dreams of Eden Kötting, a visually impaired, neuro-divergent artist. Although Eden is profoundly disabled, here she is the mischief-maker and mistress of- ceremonies. She leads us on a journey that celebrates the wonders of the human condition and offers a rare and positive insight into her life.

In addition, our interactions with the Tell-Tale Rooms are guided by floating animated 3D Tell-Tale heads that appear adrift, tempting us into Eden’s back story. Particle effects in conjunction with randomizing code add an element of unpredictability and chance to the proceedings; one minute a room might be huge and another it might be miniscule, one minute there might be snow outside and in the next minute glorious sunshine. Guided by Eden and the Tell-Tale Heads, we encounter a series of Tell-Tale Rooms: The Room of Memory, The Room Of Nostalgia, The Room of Make-Believe, The Room of Hope, The Room of Forgetting, The Room of Confabulation… In these rooms there are trace elements from Eden growing from a baby, through adolescence, and into adulthood.

Text written by Eden drift within the space, offering translation for her limited speech patterns, advice for the future, or quotes from the past. The voice of her Great-Grandmother Gladys reminisces about their time together making their film Gallivant. Snippets of antiquated public information broadcasts and mysterious voiceovers help contextualise how far society has come when dealing with disability and diversity.

Eden’s story is memorable, playful and hauntological. Hope is in the air and everywhere you look around…

The Tell-Tale Rooms is situated in the foyer on the ground floor, between the lifts and the gallery space.

Opening hours:

12:00 – 20:00 on Tue – Sat 12:00 – 18:00 on Sun 25 Feb 12:00 – 16:00 on Sun 3 Mar

KINO TEATR - ST LEONARDS ON SEA

SATURDAY 7th October 2023 @ 7 pm.

The evening promises to be a collision of what, for my money, is the best living English writer and film maker.

Together they give the past a howling, disjointed voice, peer deep into overlooked and abandoned spaces. Their combined work is transformative, a quest for long buried, unobtainable grails. The entire output is a provocation. They succeed in re-energising the past, bringing it precariously back to life like Lovecraft’s Herbert West....
