TEN figures aboard a 32ft wooden boat make up Ana Maria Pacheco’s sculpture, The Longest Journey, being exhibited in the North Transept of Salisbury Cathedral throughout the festival.
Taken from DH Lawrence’s poem, The Ship of Death, The Longest Journey looks both lifelike and other-worldly at the same time and the Brazilian artist states that she is exploring exile and hope, power and inspiration, fear and the unknown in her work.
The exhibition also features Memoria Roubada, a cabinet containing six disembodied heads in the Morning Chapel in the cathedral and the complete Terra Ignota series of drypoints at Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum.
You can see the exhibition, part of the festival’s celebration of the culture of Brazil, until June 13.
