DARTMOOR_M_O_D_REHEARSAL[2008]
5 day expedition into Live-fire Mod territory, Dartmoor, UK.
The British military are spread all over the world and play a huge role in international affairs. Through representations of foreign conflicts the British public are disconnected with military presence. Most MOD estates are situated in rural areas of scientific and environmental interest and have restricted access. If the world is a stage, Dartmoor is a rehearsal room. I went to see the MOD during their live fire rehearsals, advertised on the MOD website. As a spectator and rambling tourist to the Dartmoor Performance Space, I aimed to subvert the segregation between war and spectator, whilst exploring the psycogeography of restricted access.
