Power walk is a sprawling collaborative project by Eleanor Davis and Bram Arnold encompassing music, written work, film, installation, performance and walking. Through a series of simultaneous explorations undertaken whilst walking El and Bram will explore this most social ecology that is the demand for power. Begun as a 3 day walk the project has become an exploration of the multifarious connotations of power that are experienced by individuals. This blog is their diary of the project.

Industrial nature


Torrential rain, soaked to the skin, flares burning out to sea, cement mixer boats, pipe sections stacked. Industrial nature. Its been like that for hundreds of years here. There's a napoleonic fort just over the way on an island and I'm sitting on an old WWII bunker. Milford Haven's where they first brought whale oil which was then transported off to London to provide power for the city's new street lamps. Its always been on the edge - 2nd deepest natural port in the world apparently - bigger and better.
