The cheap flights have probably all gone by now, but our installation (Simon Proffitt and me, that is), Cymru Arall / Parallel Wales, is opening later today at The LAB gallery in San Francisco.

The work consistis of Simon's photographs, of 'Welsh' places in America (soon to be featured in Dolenni Hud), cut to sounds gathered in the equivalent places in Wales. Part of the gallery's Relay season, Parallel Wales will be showing from 22 October - 15 November.

Places getting the treatment include: Blackwood, Bryn Mawr, Bethesda, Cardiff, Flint, Llandaff, Llangollen, Gwynedd, Canton, Buckley, Neath and North Wales.

I'll post one of the films here in the near future. In the meantime, you can read some background material on this here PDF.

(And we can't go to San Francisco either, so we'll be watching from afar too, more's the pity...)
