“I am truly without faith. In a media marketplace that demands soulness, I can only offer soulnessless.”
A delicate and detailed walk through the urban and rural landscape around Dundee; a poetic focus on the details found. A performance for 16mm projection and live amplified objects (maybe pine cones, maybe a coke bottle).
