SEALAND [2-video installation]
A double projection work designed to align in a corner space.
notes from a working journal..
This piece emerges as a metaphor for the geography and politicisation of the two great archaeologies of land and sea. The work embodies a segment of time exploring the itinerant "line" between land and sea. It consists of two split-screen videos aligned in a corner space creating undulating enclosures of land.. a "contrary return" caught in eternal loop. This sea-land dialogue echoes the geopolitics surrounding land, sea, migration and movement, out of which our histories evolve. The ambivalent interplay of line and flight (strata and erasure) resonates in the unstable shoreline - a refrain to what separates and yet joins one land with another, and ultimately one human being with another.
