Perfume Disco Coma
2008

Perfume Disco Coma features Widnes Librarian Wendy Hindley. We hear Wendy as she reflects on her experience of falling into a coma for six weeks. She speaks about being close to death - then her dramatic and unexpected recovery. Wendy’s voice is accompanied visually by stroboscopic flashing images of a stunning young woman and musically, by a simple piano melody. The combination of rhythmic after-image and melody create, through this synthesis, a striking display that heightens Wendy’s powerful narrative.
