PLACES OF THE MIND - FILM SCREENING
16th November, 1-3pmNorwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery
A screening of short films by Daniel & Clara growing from their encounters with particular landscapes, both real and imagined. Floating in a space between diary and dream, each piece is infused with the atmospheres of the place it was made: from a circle of ancient standing stones to misty Irish mountains and a rain-drenched Sussex village.
Daniel & Clara will share stories of the making of these films and speak about the themes of psychology and place, looking at how we imbue places with meaning, and how in turn landscape, weather and the environment impact our imagination and state of mind.
The screening will be followed by a conversation between the artist and Dr Nick Warr from the University of East Anglia.
This event is being presented to accompany Daniel & Clara’s exhibition The Lost Estate at Norwich Castle, on display until January 2025.
About Daniel & Clara
Since meeting in 2010 Daniel & Clara have dedicated themselves to a shared life of creative experimentation, working across moving image, photography, performance and mail art to explore the nature of human experience, perception and reality. Their current projects focus on the fraught and complex relationship between humans and the natural world, particularly exploring the climate crisis as a psychological crisis and the ways in which this manifests in the imagination.
