An English Journey

2004

Andrew Cross

An English Journey was the first solo touring exhibition in the UK of work by Beck's Futures nominee 2004, Andrew Cross.

'An English Journey' is a specially commissioned film work and series of photographs exploring the seemingly prosaic experience of a place through continual transit. Always changing, both films move through concurrent landscapes that one can never remain situated in. '3 hours from here', filmed through the privileged but unusual vantage point of a heavy goods vehicle, is a strangely mesmerising and hypnotic piece that contradicts one's expectations of a post-industrial countryside, that appears largely untouched and unrecognisable.
