Sound/Image Festival, Greenwich University

Nothing Beside Remains

An extract of my 360 4K video Nothing Beside Remains, was screened at the “Image/Sound Festival”, Greenwich University, London on Nov 11th, 2024.

The work was shot at Xlendi Bay, Gozo and originally presented in a continuous repeating looped sequence in a site-specific installation at Valletta Contemporary as part of my exhibition Meta Landscapes, April-June 2022. The sound track is Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel (1978), performed by Leonard Roczek (cello) and Herbert Schuch (piano).

Writer- in-Residence, Wallace Stegner House, August 2024

During August 2024 I will be writer-in-residence at the Wallace Stegner House in Eastend, Saskatchewan, researching the locations and background for a semi-fictionalised account of the six years my grandfather spent in Western Canada during the early 1920’s, which began in Eastend.

Wallace Stegner (February 18, 1909 – April 13, 1993) was an American novelist, writer, environmentalist, and historian. His autobiographical book “Wolf Willow: A History, a Story, and a Memory of the Last Plains Frontier” (1962), describes in detail the period Stegner spent in Eastend. The house he lived in from age 7 to 12 was restored by the Eastend Arts Council in 1990 and established as a Residence for Artists.
