CAST in Helston hosts Groundwork film exhibition by Andy Holden

A Natural History of Nest Building (2017) sees Andy collaborate with his father Peter Holden, a notable ornithologist, to describe the mechanics and idiosyncrasies of bird behaviour.

The Opposite of Time (2017) is narrated by an animated crow, voiced by Andy, which guides viewers through the social history of egg collecting, illegal in Great Britain since 1954. It’s a story of fixation and tenacity, with ‘eggers’ going to astonishing lengths to find their treasure.

Andy Holden is an artist and musician whose approach is characterised by a desire to connect to audiences, while retaining his own idiosyncratic internal references and motivations. Often concerned with our relationship to the past and how we make sense of ourselves, his work tackles history, nostalgia, and philosophical enquiry

Both films last half an hour and they are on show throughout September, from Tuesday to Sunday. Admission is free and no booking is required.
