'doggerLANDscape' presented at Towner Eastbourne

It was very nice to return to Eastbourne for ‘Artist films: Human Outlooks on Precarious Coastal Lands’, a screening matinée curated by performance and media artist Claudia Kappenberg at Towner Cinema.

We presented moving image relating to the coast, performance and the Sussex landscape. 

With films by Claudia Kappenberg and Julieanna Preston, Marcia Teusink, and Amy Cunningham.

I presented my video art doggerLANDscape (2023): a search for the remnants of the submerged forest of Doggerland on the Lincolnshire coast, when the river Thames was connected to the Rhine. We were not always an island.

Thank you to Emily Medd.

A University of Brighton series of events to coincide with Emma Stibbon's 'Melting Ice | Rising Tides' exhibition at Towner Eastbourne.

[synopsis]
Doggerland Channels: a generative sound-relief based on the ancient land which once linked Britain to the continent. The cartographic sound art installation for voice and data projection throws a net over the North Sea, revealing the rivers which used to connect us to the continent - when the Thames flowed into the Rhine. Doggerland Channels is a landscape whose borders are fluid, fluvial, in need of being retraced, and revealed for a translated experience of the site. Britain was last connected to Europe through the North Sea about 8000 years ago, and we can expect it to be reconnected during future glacial periods. By responding to the present, and the history of the site, the work questions our connection to the continent, and situates ourselves - as islanders - in this transitionary zone: our political exit from the EU.
What is your relationship to the continent?

This work proceeds from research undertaken in Lincolnshire July 2021.
