Originating at Wooley Moor, the Tamar river spans over 60 miles, eventually reaching Plymouth Sound and the English channel. Rooted in local heritage and environmentalism, Sam Bestwick will be travelling the Tamar’s entirety, capturing humanity’s attempts of adaptation to it, specifically the 22 bridges that cross it. The material gathered will be collated to form an experimental moving image work and exhibition.
