Eisteddfod Submissions

23 January 2010

Just spreading the word for the Eisteddfod call, which sounds exciting this year. It will be held on the grounds of Ebbw Vale steel works this year, in one of the huge bunkers. It's a great opportunity for artists who feel that the usual pavillion set-up is not for them and a massive challenge to the team that organise it.

If youre Welsh, based here or of Welsh parentage youre eligible (I'm paraphrasing here, double-check on the website, Link above)

Shot on location in West Wales at her father's arboretum, the video documents a tour around the land by way of a collage of images in which her father recounts the Latin names of the numerous plants and trees. Accompanied by a dog, it is never entirely clear whether her father aims his tour at the audience or only to the dog. This ambiguous relationship raises questions as to the nature and purpose of language, communication and understanding.
