Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

Is Cannes really like St. Kilda, or is it just a state of mind? Animated watercolour drawings and hand coloured photocopies shape this introspective reflection on the nature of landscape and human responses to it. It hints that our perception of landscape is never direct but always filtered through a set of constructs, either physical or psychological.
