Deceleration by ZU-UK and St Margaret's House

Deceleration is an audio experience through a structured interaction with rhythm and environment.

Once you’ve put on your headphones an instruction-based journey will lead you through a stage-by-stage process of deceleration: An exploration of the embodied process of slowing down.
