Severn Sea, an installation by Richard Broomhall. Artist-in-residence with Contains Art, Broomhall brings sharks to shipping containers in an epic deep sea dive of film and animation, plumbing the depths of landscape, legend and technology
About
Spike Island artist/filmmaker Richard Broomhall goes looking for the 'fibre glow' of a thousand terabyte internet cables flowing beneath the Severn Sea. Creating a mythology of the Bristol Channel from Watchet, his film installation will take viewers on a visionary deep sea dive combining drone shots and computer game animation as he goes swimming in the Severn Sea (with Havren as his guide!). Richard will be artist-in-residence with Contains Art in the build up to this epic installation.
Exploring the intersection of landscape and technology, Broomhall and collaborating animator, Mark Fish, combine sculpture and moving image to bring life to the digital network of information cables that lurk in the waters beyond the gallery’s harbour location.
