Installing at Da Gadderie

Having spent a hectic few weeks since sometime in early June traveling from Sheffield to collect Jo and Rob, loading cameras, microphones, tripods, Wellington Boots, etc.,into the car, and on to Shetland.... to film, record, organise people, research for more information, and source equipment....

Then back to Sheffield on a vey rough and noisy sea crossing with no sleep to be had, to sit and edit sound and film with intensive discussions and notes being taken, anxiously await 16mm film to be processed and delivered ... buy
 projectors and procure various bits of equipment...from Bristol and Sheffield... and do a fair bit of even more traveling about.... 

Finally, having spent an unscheduled night and a day in Aberdeen with a bit of sight-seeing thrown in (because I messed up the ferry booking)...



  





We've spent the last 5 days installing... returning home each night to fall asleep exhausted.

It's got to be 18% grey

Pacing

Today - Saturday July 22nd - we're there... it's up and running and open to the public. I think we're quite pleased with it.

3 screen and sound installation

You'll have to come to Da Gadderie to get the full immersive experience - to hear sounds and see more images. You've got until August 27th to get here.

Thanks to Creative Scotland for funding the project and to Shetland Museum & Archives and Shetland Arts for all their support
