Since March 2006, photographer Tim Wainwright and sound artist John Wynne have been artists-in-residence at the Harefield Hospital, one of the world’s leading centres for heart and lung transplantation. Funded by the Arts Council of England and supported by Royal Brompton and Harefield Arts, they have been working with patients, their families, and staff at the Hospital to collect materials for a photographic sound installation which will be completed in 2007. The project has recorded the subjects, often at their bedside, as they speak about their experience of transplantation or about whatever else they might want to relate.
