James Webb has chosen to engage with Bergen’s diverse religious communities. Prayer is a multi-channel sound installation comprising of prayers from all the religions practiced in Bergen. Webb researched the many groups and met with them to make personal audio recordings of prayer that would be representative of their respective faiths. Broadcast from 12 floor-based speakers, the artwork allows listeners to wander through the installation listening to the many sounds as a whole or kneel down and listen to each voice intimately
