WATCH THE FILM
This film documents one of eight murmuring, glowing encampments that appeared at some of our most beautiful and remote coastal locations. The project was called Peace Camp.
Designed to be visited between dusk and dawn, Peace Camp was a poignant exploration of love poetry and a celebration of the extraordinary variety and beauty of our coastline.
From County Antrim to the tip of Cornwall, from the Isle of Lewis to the Sussex cliffs of Cuckmere Haven where this film was shot.
The Peace Camp at Cuckmere Haven was created in partnership with the European Commission Representation in the UK.
Alongside the live installations, the project also painted an oral portrait of the nation online. The people of the UK were asked to nominate and record their favourite love poems and submit their own messages. The collection was archived with the British Library, an anthology that celebrates our languages, dialects and accents as well as our rich poetic tradition.
Peace Camp was co-commissioned by London 2012 Festival and Derry~Londonderry City of Culture 2013.
