L@tE, South of England : Boscastle
River Action, Rivers Jordan and Valency, Cornwall UK - July 2006
The Rivers Jordan and Valency were selected as they form the two rivers that flooded their banks and the village of Boscastle in Cornwall August 2004.The steep river valley accentuated the effects of the gathered rain water from the storm; this acted like a funnel which caused a flash flood that saturated the village of Boscastle.It was in response to this flood that brought L@tE here. We wanted to respond with a creative statement and work with and be led by the river courses.We followed the Valency upstream from where it converges with the Jordan and worked enroute, responding to selected locations.
