Darkness

This film is designed to reimagine some of the paintings by artist Richard Gilbert of ancient trees at Brampton Bryan in North Herefordshire. The presentation includes audio recordings of birds and animals within the parkland, together with film of some ancient trees within a canopy of woodland trees. It was filmed in November 2023 near dusk, although this film appears to show the sun rising on the woodland, in actuality it is fading away into the darkness.

The five-minute film is best watched on a large screen in dark or dim ambient lighting conditions with the sound turned up so that the immersive atmosphere of being present in the parkland is created.
