Digital video 26 mins w/audio
Commissioned by L.B. Camden to mark the opening of St Pancras International
Featuring music composed by David Lang
 
A film combining two parallel narratives: the route of the high-speed rail-line
from the English Channel to St Pancras International filmed entirely at locations
situated above tunnels or below bridges, and the development of a Handel
harpsichord suite filmed at Handel House Museum. These narratives conclude
with the Islington Canal Tunnel accompanied by a reinterpretation of the
Handel suite by David Lang for electric guitar.
