I Can See My Way Home (2004)

Overview

In 2004 Picture This and South West Screen commissioned 'I Can See My Way Home' with Spacex Gallery, Exeter, as the second project in the 'Historic Sites' series. The work was originally a two-screen installation produced in response to two historic houses in Devon, Killerton House, a thriving National Trust homes, and Poltimore House, a ruin falling into a state of dilapidation. The caretaker and conservation expert emerges at Killerton, opening the closed shutters of the house, while a torch beam explores the devastated interior of Poltimore. This 11-minute extract is focused on the material Curran filmed inside of Poltimore House with an accompanying soundtrack.
