Stonehenge 3019
A short film created with young people in the Army Welfare Service at Bulford Camp near Stonehenge.
Stonehenge has been a beacon for people for thousands of years. But what will Stonehenge look and feel like in the year 3019? What if everything we know about Stonehenge so far is just the tip of the iceberg? What if it holds powers that we’ve never discovered?
Working with a group of young people from military families around Amesbury, we used cameras, microphones, smartphones and other technology to explore the sounds, images, elements and textures in and around those stones, and imagined what sort of extraordinary secrets might be revealed there, now and in the future.
