ONLY CONSIDER THE SECOND IMAGE ... THE VIDEO FOR INCLUSION FOR THE EXHIBITION
The first image is simply uploaded in case the system will not accept the still from the video.
The installation is a video of about 2 minutes. It can be looped if wished. The title is "The Gathered Storm". I shot the footage, edited the film and added the voiceover spoke by the writer Andy Allan.
The video shows the effect of the elements of wind and air on the land and offers a ultimate a kind of redemption after storm. This is shown in the film where the end frames offer birdsong, heralding the end of turbulent weather.
The film can be a metaphor of hard times or difficult situations with an eventual resolution.
Viewers can interpret these images and words in whichever they wish... For example storm at sea threatening the fishing community and fisherfolk, or the current pandemic Covid-19.
The image shown is not from the film but the application required an image and so I have included an image of a painting.
