The Hide
Please scroll down to watch the full screen version of the film with audio.
This film records the passing of time in a wildlife hide on the west coast of Scotland. The hide allows the viewer to look upon the landscape through a long, panoramic viewing aperture. It looks out onto the land and water in a location where time is governed by the inexorable regularity of the tide. It’s mid-summer. The wind riffles through leaves, insects hover, and the camera examines the space viewed from the hide, but also of the hide itself. It’s a place that is almost a pause in the landscape, a place to view a pause in the landscape. Nothing happens. We just watch and wait.
First shown in the solo exhibition, Below, the rocks fell into darkness at the Studio Pavilion, Glasgow, May - July 2018. The film also toured to various venues in China in 2020 and 2021, and was shown at PostROOM London in a two person show with Laurie Clark, Spring 2022.
Shot on super 16mm digital format. Dur. 9'17"
