Quinn: Until the Land Runs Out

Overview

A 25-minute film which forms a part of a multi-faceted artwork Quinn (whquinn.com), created over a seven-year period from 2014 to 2021. The eponymous character of William Henry Quinn, a young man released from internment in a POW camp, undertakes a three-year walking journey from the south-west of England to the north of Scotland immediately post WW2, where he navigates his past and recent trauma through walking over and through the British landscape. Exploring the real and the imagined, tied to historical events, and responding to ever-present international human conflict, Quinn is a work of photography, moving image, narrative fiction and interactive installation.
