Mark Wallinger, b. 1959, HYMN, signed on a gallery label affixed to the video, projected video installation, 4 minutes 54 seconds. Executed in 1997, this work is number 8 from an edition of 10 plus 1 artist's proof. Provenance: Anthony Reynolds Gallery, London. Literature: Exhibition Catalogue, Liverpool, Tate Liverpool, Mark Wallinger: Credo, 2000, p. 85, illustration in colour of another example Theodora Vischer, Mark Wallinger: Lost Horizon, Basel 2000, p. 28, illustration in colour of another example Hymn forms the second part of a trilogy of videos which explore the theme of religion, featuring the artist in the guise of a character called Blind Faith, always pictured in his dark glasses, white shirt and black tie. In the present work, Wallinger stands on a box on top of Primrose Hill with all of London laid out before him. The blue helium-filled balloon which he holds, showing the face of a smiling boy, is the artist himself aged ten. Taking breaths from a mouthpiece connected to a cylinder at his feet (containing a mixture of helium and oxygen), he sings verses of a Victorian children's hymn. His squeaky, helium-induced voice resembles the singing voice of a child suggesting an adult longing to return to a state of childish innocence. At the end of the hymn, he lets go of the balloon, figuratively implying letting go of his childhood. While the balloon rises and flies away, the final frame shows the artist falling off the box, arrested abruptly in mid fall. On the one hand Hymn appears as a comical work; a mockery of the childish vision of souls ascending to heaven described by the song. Yet there is a deeper and more serious aspect which speaks of the human desire for faith, innocence and eternal life.
