The Horseman by Elisabetta Bastai

Following a horseman

In the summer of 2010 a new community arts project created by The Red Field was launched in Fife. "Another Land" was a journey and a story that followed a path across Fife and ended with an installation of light, sound, glass and storytelling in Dunfermline Abbey in February of 2011.

As the journey unfolded it made its way to and from six contrasting historic sites across the region and each of the sites informed and inspired successive chapters in the progress of the journey and the story.

The Journey began with a horseman and the horseman began deep in the midst of a Dark Age forest.

Now Another Land is returning to forest. Trees will blanket the land, buildings will disappear and to travel is go by foot, by boat and by horse.

A JOURNEY

The journey began with a Pictish stone in a field of barley. In the story the field is gone and all around is the deepest, darkest forest.
