Romanesque Sculpture and the Medieval Pilgrimage Roads to Santiago de Compostela
The Compostelan Cycle is a work of video art with a duration of five hours and a quarter. It consists of 15 chapters each representing a stage along the four medieval pilgrimage roads to Santiago de Compostela through France and the single route across northern Spain. Taking inspiration from a medieval Latin manuscript, the work restricts itself to what would have been visible to a traveller around the middle of the twelfth century.
Alternating landscapes and medieval infrastructure with a total of forty-two Romanesque portals featuring complex sculptural ensembles.
The intention behind the work has been to create an immersive, non-narrative historical and anthropological psychogeography.
An original music score by Martin A. Smith combines with the visuals to form a work to create a unique journey through time and space.
