the audio recordings comprising After Bexley were captured by Reuben Derrick and Sally Ann McIntyre on two field trips into Bexley on 11.9.2012 and 13.9.2012, and re-sited within a small-radius programme transmitted at the Physics Room’s gallery spaces within the same week, on 15.9.2012. They can be seen as a response to the idea of silence, itself co-opted as memorial a mere week after the earthquake event of 12.51pm, 22.2.2011. As Prime Minister John Key put it at the time, “two minutes as a sign of unity for the people of Canterbury who are enduring a tragedy beyond what most of us can imagine."
