Free screening and artist talk Friday 5 August, 6-8.30 pm
About Landscape Imaginary
Responding to the psychological impact of the global pandemic and the physical restrictions of lockdown, Daniel & Clara created a series of 100 short videos in the landscapes of Mersea Island, where they unexpectedly found themselves living due to the pandemic. Filmed during their permitted 1 hour daily walks, this project captures moments of deep engagement with the landscapes and weather through that strange year when we all found ourselves confined to our local environments.
Join an evening of films and talks
Join us for an evening of films and conversation with artist Daniel & Clara who will be coming to Groundwork Gallery as a part of their Landscape Imaginary tour.
For this event Daniel & Clara will present a selection of their short films that explore the relationship between psychology and place, particularly the impact of weather, nature and environment on the imagination.
It’s free but book here
NB This event was originally scheduled for 26 June, but the artists contracted Covid so it is now postponed till 5 August.

About the artists
Since meeting in 2010 Daniel & Clara have dedicated themselves to a shared life of creative exploration, working across moving image, photography, performance, installation and correspondence art. Using themselves and their life together as their material, their work explores the nature of subjective experience, perception and reality. Set against the backdrop of the British landscape, their work presents narratives of psychological disorientation and the human creature in crisis in the age of environmental emergency.
