Swandown

The Book Work

SWANDOWN is a plot of Olympian ambition. A poetic film-diary about encounter and culture, an endurance test and pedal-marathon. Andrew Ktting and Iain Sinclair pedalled a swan pedalo from the seaside in Hastings to Hackney in East London, via the inland waterways.

 

The journey provided multifarious outcomes; a film work, pinhole photographs, email correspondence and numerous texts and artifacts - documentation of which is beautifully reproduced in this limited edition bookwork. (LUX)

 

"Iain Sinclair is taking a mythological symbol to the Olympics, maybe to remind the Olympics what they are about? He likes a journey. Whereas I think Andrew Ktting just sort of sees what happens and the reverse engineers the meaning after he has collated the events."
Stewart Lee - Writer and Clown

 

Limited edition of 400, 343 pages, hardback and fully illustrated.
