"The moor is murky and unfathomable, it doesn't want to be opened up, it doesn't want to give way. And yet life stirs between the bony birch trees; people have
planted houses on stilts in the ground; paths have been built through the barren
landscape."
Swans Move Across the Country documents in pictures, objects and installations the life
of a village that never existed. An exhibition about tradition, home and
nostalgia, about today and yesterday, about what we have overcome and what we have
lost.
