In early April 2009 the last of the distinctive Titan ship-building cranes from the Tyneside Swan Hunter shipyard in northern England were loaded up onto a heavy load vessel and sailed out of the River Tyne. These vast iconic forms were dismantled and shipped to a new life at the Bharati shipyard on the west coast of India. This narrative forms the background to the seven-screen digital video installation, which comprises of treated found footage of the cranes' departure down the River Tyne to India.
