    On Location: New Materialism and Film in the Anthropocene

Description
A hybrid form of landscape cinema capturing the year of an unnamed hollow way that forms the stream bed for several springs in a remote area of rural mid-Devon, Britain.

Made in collaboration with the cinematographer and sound recordist Stuart Moore, the film takes time to notice the human and non-human traces of change along the sunken lane, observing a year’s cycle of seasonal changes and meteorological phenomena using experimental filming techniques, such as pinhole cinematography and lenses created with water from a spring that feeds into the track, along with field recordings made at the site that capture the sonic architecture of the space.

The film was first exhibited at Plymouth Arts Centre from 10 to 19 January 2017.
