‘Men Marched Asleep’ (2018)Williamson Museum and Art Gallery, Merseyside, CH43 4UE Nov - Dec 2018Heritage Lottery FundedThe title of the installation takes its inspiration from the fifth line of the Wilfred Owen poem: Dulce et Decorum Est …a poem which provides a deeply evocative description of men exhausted by battle but continuing on. It’s a journey-narrative saturated by time-and-toil, regimental history and personal loss during the Great War. This sense of movement is conveyed in parallel by the installation itself as a series of historical objects, personal photographs and artworks created by the local community transport the visitor through an immersive and evocative environment peppered with lines taken from the poetry of Owen alongside a life-size trench. Serving & former soldiers contributed to a workshop programme alongside members of The Spider Project, a creative arts and well-being recovery community programme.  -- source link
