Close Distance




We worked with filmmaker Urben Media, Ben Harriott to make our film for the exhibition at Wollaton Hall, Close Distance, which was a 'making of' documentary film that interviewed and
researched the process of the artists involved.

Close Distance is a collaboration between artist Caroline Broadhead, choreographer Angela Woodhouse and film-maker Nic Sandliand, responding to the Elizabethan Mansion, Wollaton Hall and collections. They are making performance, craft objects and films to be situated in the Prospect Room at the Hall.

Our challenge as a collective was to work with videographer Ben Harriott to supplement the interpretation of the piece in a documentary style piece.

We interviewed Caroline Broadhead in her London based studio and captured the changing light of the Prospect Room. We  captured talks given by our own curators about the work, including the collection at Newstead Abbey that inspired Caroline.
