Photography and Video 2007

 

 

Based near Newtown in the nearby Banw Valley is a choir of Welsh speakers that retains a local tradition of small choirs drawn from farming backgrounds. 5 farmers have been chosen to sing individually, in order to deconstruct the idea of a choir. The photographic portraits are shown along side a video piece of a lamb birth with the audio track. The song, a contemporary composition about the local area, reflects the reciprocal relationship between past and present.
