Project Detail

A Thin Place

Synopsis

Documenting Summer Solstice at Glastonbury Tor in Somerset.
For many, Glastonbury Tor is the spiritual and mythological heart of England, acting as both the geographical centrepiece to Arthurian legend and Christianity's arrival into Britain.
Shot in 2019, a year in which national divides were embellished by further populist rhetoric surrounding the country's exit from the European Union, A THIN PLACE acts as an alternative catalyst to reflect on dialogues surrounding English nationalism, identity and Romanticism.
