Three Trips To The Central Motorway (Installation View)

115 35mm colour slides, field recorded audio.

3 visits along Newcastle's Central Motorway, documented through one roll of colour slide film each, which is shown in its entirety. Mistakes, thought processes and immediate reactions are represented both visually and through audio recorded whilst making these trips. Shown across three separate projectors, the multiplicity of experiences within this major aspect of Newcastle's post-war reconstruction, and the optimism and politics contained in that gesture, clash head on - architecture and functional construction, socialist modernism and isolated streets in the sky, the future as it was meant to be and the past as it never was.
