Title: Slow Orbit (2025)    

Media: 4k video, colour, silent, Real-time satellite tracking

In a non-disclosed location in North-West England, six Tuatara reptiles resurface from their brumation. Outside of Australasia, these six are the only living species of Rhynchocephalia reptiles in the world. The first recording of these reptiles dates back to the Middle Triassic era - around 240 million years ago, pre-dating dinosaurs. They are often referred to as the oldest living fossil.

The second aspect is a real-time tracking of Telstar satellite. The first communications satellite that has been defunct since 1962. The Low Earth Orbiting (leo) satellite travels at 16000 mph and has done so for 62+ years. 

The two screens in proximity to one another ask us to engage in themes of deep-time, the organic and artifice and the concept of relics.
