‘Oddly peaceful and reassuring’ Audience member
Become at one with the forest
Cushioned by soil and surrounded by fallen leaves, Woodland by UK artist duo French & Mottershead is a meditative and deeply affecting audio work that creates a self-portrait of the body after death.
Using spoken narrative with insights from forensic anthropologists and ecologists, Woodland is a gentle confrontation of mortality and an invitation to imagine our body’s return to the soil over an epic length of time.
