Listening in the Dark

Maeve Brennan

Exhibition

Event overview

Artist Maeve Brennan's film 'Listening in the Dark' (2018) — exploring the nocturnal life of bats — is showing as part of the National Treasures: Constable in Bristol “Truth To Nature” exhibition at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery.


The film performs subtle but penetrating soundings of man-made incursions on nature, initially by considering the habits of bats, and how they are profoundly affected (sometimes terminally) by the presence of wind turbines located near their regular flight paths.
