“Now, imagine this walk. It is one thousand metres in length, beginning at a ford, across a stone bridge and over a brook, ending at a wooden bridge where the water gathers pace and runs down into a valley. 360 metres above sea level and it is covered in bilberries. Lie down, instead, on the bridge and watch the aeroplanes arrow-straight descent, before beginning your slower and more scattered descent towards Manchester.”

The moving image piece is the result our collaboration with Alison during her micro-commission for GUIDEline. A precarious physical act of moving up through the peaty stream, marking a watery boundary towards ‘Wilderness’.
