A specially commissioned film of the changing coastline of Scotland by the maker of the award winning Aspect, Petrolia portrays a fluid interaction between landscape and population, sea and machine. Filmed in time-lapse, giant oil platforms take begin to resemble organic forms and our sense of scale is gradually eroded.
Also availiable as a three screen installation (as exhibited at The Lighthouse, Glasgow 2005).
