Responding to the psychological impact of the global pandemic and the physical restrictions of lockdown, On The Island is a series of 100 short videos by artists Daniel & Clara in the landscapes of Mersea Island, Essex, where they’ve been living since March 2020.
Filmed during their permitted one hour daily walks, On The Island captures a series of moments of deep engagement with the landscapes and weather through that strange year when we all found ourselves confined to our local environments.
The exhibition is being presented as a part of Landscape Imaginary, a series of events showing the work of Daniel & Clara across East Anglia in 2022, find out more here: landscapeimaginary.art
