Callanish Audio Visual Research

Callanish Audio Visual Research is an explorative audiovisual journey through the largest stone circle complex in the Northern Hemisphere. This project includes a captivating short film, an evocative soundtrack, and a beautifully crafted book, each designed to capture the otherworldly essence of the Isle of Lewis and the mysterious presence of its ancient monoliths. Drawing inspiration from the folklore of Lewis, the film weaves a sense of magic throughout, reflecting the subtle shifts in perception experienced when communing with the stones at various times of the day. Structured into seven phases, viewers are guided through a ritualistic journey of separation, transition, and incorporation. The film and soundtrack blend documentary style with music video elements, painting a vivid picture of a forgotten landscape and time.
