As part of Mobile Studio’s multivalent investigation into large historic land systems, this video is the first of the UK Mobile Studio study of the future of high speed rail, urban place-making, and urban watersheds in England. This project is a partnership with MADE, a center for urban place-making in Birmingham, Kathryn Moore’s Institute for Art and Design at Birmingham City University and a team of public artists, landscape architects, and citizens. This particular film explores the landscape of rail connecting two of Europe’s largest cities. The curious musical score is intended to provoke new thinking about these seemingly mundane landscape experiences.
