Sound artist Janet Cardiff is known for her highly original site-specific audio walking tours, which combine documentary and orchestrated sounds to create a layered narrative of a particular space. Her past work includes audio walks in London, Florence, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and St. Louis. This week, she put the finishing touches on a new one for Central Park in New York, commissioned by the Public Art Fund. Dean Olsher trails her as she records gospel singer Evelyn Williams in a church, and then takes one more walk in the park. Produced by Emily Botein.
