This urban wild field in Hackney Marshes

View through CrossRef
In the heart of the capital, Hackney Marshes is an oasis of country fields, which have been spared from development as a common land. The field behind the Lee Valley Ice Centre is a shelter for so-called weeds, dandelion, nettle, mugwort, plantain, cleavers, cow parsley, yarrow and many others. This is where we found our habitat. Claire rooted her movement practice in this spot in 2017 and saw it grow and blossom when she started to collaborate with Dominique in 2018. Each month of the year and throughout the seasons they meet. Claire moves. Dominique resonates. The accompanying film is a first glimpse into the accumulated (and still being filmed) material, which is currently being shaped into a four screen installation.
