About this experience
Guests meet at a farm gate on the edge of a Cheshire estate before first light and walk in with hand tools and flasks. The morning begins with an hour of looking: reading the frost line, the stream edge and the fallen timber, and deciding what the material will allow that day. Work then splits into pairs, each building one ephemeral structure from hazel, stacked stone or ice, with Goldsworthy moving between them. As the light turns, attention shifts to the camera: where to stand, when to release, and how a single frame has to carry a work that will not last the afternoon. The group returns to a barn for soup and bread, reviews the morning's frames together, then walks back out to watch the first pieces collapse.
