Transplant
No full textTransplant is a large-scale photographic sound installation. Photographer Tim Wainwright and sound artist John Wynne have produced this thought-provoking and unique work after spending a year as artists-in-residence at Harefield Hospital, one of the world’s leading centres for heart and lung transplantation. Funded by Arts Council England and working with rb&hArts, they photographed and recorded patients, the devices they were attached to or had implanted in them, and the hospital itself.
Transplant is also a book, edited by Victoria Hume, comprising a collection of essays with a wide range of perspectives on the Transplant project and the wider issues it raises. It includes a 35-minute DVD by John Wynne and Tim Wainwright.
A related output is Hearts, Lungs and Minds, a half-hour composed documentary, commissioned for BBC Radio 3. More information is available at: http://www.sensitivebrigade.com and /Hearts,Lungs&Minds.htm http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/709/
Transplant (excerpt)
No full textBook chapter and 22-minute excerpt from the video Transplant, first published in the book, Transplant, edited by Victoria Hume.
This video makes use of photographs and audio recordings collected by John Wynne and Tim Wainwright during their year as artists-in-residence at Harefield Hospital, one of the world’s leading centres for heart and lung transplantation. Moving back and forth between documentation and an abstraction, the video piece provides a unique insight into the intense and fascinating experience undergone by the most vulnerable of patients.
Through all the differences and similarities of sound and vision, seeing and hearing, looking and listening, a rapprochement emerges in the collaboration between Wainwright and Wynne. Meaning arises out of fades and overlaps, sudden appearances and vanishings, fusing and disparity. Distinctions of the senses are less important than their indivisibility. Are we seeing or hearing, and how much of either perception is a consequence of the other? (David Toop

Birds I wouldn't have heard
No full textBirds I wouldn't have heard is a 90-minute multichannel video and sound installation created for Science Gallery London in 2019 with materials collected as part of the Transplant and Life project at the Hunterian Museum in 2017. My collaborative partner Tim Wainwright died from pancreatic cancer shortly after we were commissioned, and I completed the work after discussions with him in his final days.
This work conveys the impact of disease and organ transplantation on the daily lives and identity of recipients, live donors, and those on the waiting list. It weaves still and moving images, voice and field recordings to explore the breadth and depth of emotions and experiences encountered while the artists were in-residence at the Royal Free and Harefield Hospitals, both world-leading centres for organ transplants

Transplant and Life
No full textTransplant and Life is an exhibition in the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons in London. I worked with photographer Tim Wainwright as artists in residence at the Royal Free Hospital to film, photograph and record organ transplant recipients, live donors, people on the waiting list for a transplant, and specialists in the field. We were asked to make work that would bring the patient voice into the medical museum, a space normally dominated by specimens, clinical hardware and medical heroes. We also revisited some of the heart and lung transplant recipients we worked with in the Transplant project in 2007.
The exhibition is accompanied by a digital guide which aims to enrich the visitor experience and provide access to images, sounds and information not directly on show in the museum. This guide, which is also available online, will be updated and more materials added during the exhibition, which runs from November 2016 to May 2017. It is also intended as a resource for hospitals, medical professionals, and patients.
The exhibition consists of various elements including an installation in the Museum's main Crystal Gallery (above). This comprises 16 high-resolution light boxes and 12 channels of sound heard via special devices which turn the glass cabinets themselves into sound-producing surfaces.
