SUMMARY:At Home in the Water by Vanessa Daws
DESCRIPTION:This autumn Fabrica presents a new artwork by Dublin-based arti
 st Vanessa Daws. In this immersive film installation visitors are offered 
 a unique insight into the experience of the long-distance swimmer.\n\nMesh
 ing together the swimmer’s inward monologue\, the physical sensation of 
 the water and the challenge of the open water endurance swim\, the artwork
  invites us to wonder what strange fascination the sea has for us\, why we
  choose to submerge ourselves in it and why we feel compelled to try to na
 vigate it.\n\nOne inspiration for Vanessa Daws' artwork is pioneer swimmer
  Mercedes Gleitze (1900-1981). The exhibition also tells her fascinating s
 tory alongside material about Brighton’s swimming heritage. Born in Brig
 hton in 1900\, Mercedes was the first Englishwoman to swim the Channel in 
 1927 and was a huge celebrity in her day\, lauded for her record-breaking 
 endurance swims. With the recent revival of public interest in sea swimmin
 g and its health benefits\, this has reinvigorated interest in the swimmer
  and her achievements.\n\nAt Home in the Water at Fabrica is one element o
 f an international ongoing project\, Swimming a Long Way Together.\n\n#AtH
