Segura, 2010

Segura was shot in Murcia over the course of one day and one night. The video is shaped by the slow ebb and flow of the Segura River and the shifts in light from day to night. The underside of a motorway bridge that crosses the river is the main location of the work and it acts as constant reminder of the presence of everyday human activity.
