Dan Scott explored the poignant life of Queen Marie Antoinette through video and sound, creating new works which examined the idea of objects as silent witnesses.

The main work was a new video called Tingle which utilised the techniques ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) to depict a day in the life of the young Marie Antoinette. Played by an actress, she described her day in the presence of a French clock from Harewood’s collection, which may have been from the Court of the Queen.
