In 2018, Bradley Tuck (Exploding Appendix) began a twelve-part interview series with Daniel & Clara, the moving image artists who have been creating an extensive body of work since they met in 2010. Our ambitious project was an experiment in long-form interviews, unfolding over an entire year and exploring various aspects of Daniel & Clara’s practice. However, the twelfth and final part of the series was never written. Intended to reflect on the collaboration and draw together the themes of the year, it felt premature to conclude, leaving the series ambigiously open-ended.
This Exploding Appendix salon will act as the long-awaited twelfth part, revisiting the original series and examining Daniel & Clara’s work from 2018 to the present day. We will explore their return to the UK and their growing focus on the British countryside as a central subject in their projects, including Avebury Imaginary (2019–Present), Landscape Imaginary (2020–Present), Mail Art (2018–Present), Birding (2023), The Lost Estate (2024), Waiting for Bas (2024), and Birds and Beasts (2025).
