Walking the Fiction

Walking the Fiction | Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps) Season 3

Aqsa Arif and Hector MacInnes host a day-long workshop at Ardvasar Hall, reflecting on the themes explored in their screening event ​‘This Fantasy Must End!’. The preceding screening event will take place at Breakish Hall on Friday 7 March and concludes Intentional Pauses (and Unforeseen Gaps) Season 3, programmed by Aqsa and Hector.

Participants are invited to a one-day workshop led by artists Aqsa Arif and Hector MacInnes, digging deeper into the themes explored in ​‘This Fantasy Must End!’. Walking out from Ardvasar Hall in Sleat, south Skye, we will gather digital and physical materials from shoreline, roadside, pier and woodland. On our return we will use what we’ve found to build fictions and fantasies by montaging sound and image: projecting and manipulating footage we have shot on our phones, and building sonic worlds with leaves, stones and litter. At the end of the day, we will bring our work together as a short cinematic performance, before reflecting on how it might change what we expect to see and hear when we leave the building.
