Mud Mapping (2022)

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

The film acts as a virtual journey along the Tyne from the Swing Bridge to the Saltmarsh Garden giving an account of the mudflats from multiple perspectives through the voices of scientists, ecologists and people who live locally. The river landscape was filmed over a period of four months, across different seasons and times of day capturing fragments of human and animal life. The journey ends at the saltmarsh garden, which I think of as a kind of conceptual time travel, an end point and a beginning. An ancient landscape which might point the way to a more sustainable future.
