On view until 7 November 2010.
Commissioned to make a work in relation to the writer W.G. Sebald, Dean took as her subject the poet and translator Michael Hamburger whom Sebald meets in a chapter of his book, The Rings of Saturn. In her 28 minute film Dean concentrates on Hamburger’s love of apples, while the rambling house, encroaching garden, sunlight, rattling wind and the appearance of a rainbow all act as a metaphor for the man as poet. This acquisition was generously funded by the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism, 2008.
