Based on their earlier cinematographic ventures into a contested site in the far North of Scotland, the artist\u0026#39;s novel is a reconnaissance of real and imagined sites \u0026ndash; taking shape as a liquid land that fluctuates between blanket bog, film emulsion and literary space. The artist\u0026#39;s novel offers a possible way out of the many \u0026lsquo;transformation-narratives\u0026rsquo; that tried to exploit or reform this vast terrain.

Two earlier iterations manifested in the form of a digital film and an analogue one (S16mm). Each outcome can be considered an attempt to register an essentially un-documentable and vast landscape. As an entrance into this terrain each outcome uses the particularities of their medium to open up a new vantage point, and as such generates its own epistemology of an ungraspable terrain. With each outcome this terrain is increasingly historicized and as such mythologises \u003cem\u003eFlow Country\u003c/em\u003e.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.publicationstudio.biz\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":3270,"name":"Daniel Lee","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}},{"id":1948,"name":"Jasper Coppes","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
