A projecter was hanging loosely from the ceiling and whirring away noisily in the centre of the gallary. This exhibition use a film projects and distinctive light.

Rosa Barva: The Long Road,2010

At the centre of the gallary display a large suspeneded screen that shows the Long Road film.
The Long Road documented a race track in the California desert. There is no trees and habitation but the landscape is dominated by the racetrack, a large scale industrial mark on the landscape. The larege scale racetrack can ruin a beautifual place. As with many of her films, they address the relationship between industrial and natural environments.
