Cats Eyes

By Penny Hallas 2016
Films navigating rural routes in Black Mountains and retail interior spaces in UnDegUn, Wrexham, Wales, projected onto cats eyes gleaned from the roadsides, and donated by Powys County Council Road Maintenance. The cats eyes represent for me something of the process of navigating two very different localities, rural and urban - and the terrain between them. They call to mind the mapping of routes, finding or losing one's way, the establishment of orderly routines for progressing through space, but they also seem evocative of the endless night-spaces which surround the narrow corridors they illuminate.
