Waterborne – An audio work by French & Mottershead.
What happens when we reach the end of life? Listen to an intimate and poetic story of afterlife as you look out over the water. Hear the process of transformation as your body is borne by currents and tides, from a canal, through a widening river and out to sea.
Galoshans Festival is delighted to present French & Mottershead’s internationally acclaimed Waterborne for the first time in Scotland.
Written from forensic case studies of human bodies transported by water and research on the ecosystems of rivers and tidal waters, Waterborne is one of four audio works from French & Mottershead’s Afterlife series.
