| Pushing a camera on tripod and dolly forward little by little through the cycle and pedestrian tunnels under the river Clyde in Glasgow. A wooden stick measuring 25cm was used to follow a certain rythm which when translated into film, resulted in a moderate cycling speed. Filming for about a week the work was about exploring the space under the river. Connecting Partick with Govan, my guess is that the tunnel would have been used mainly by workers when it opened in the 60's with shipbuilding yards on either side of the river still operating. Nowadays the tunnels are used very sparsely, which in connection witih graffiti and remnants from people hanging out smoking, drinking or occasionally setting fires makes them scary places. |
