On the slopes of Cader Idris, around the banks of Llyn Cau, sits a new city. A narrator tells us stories of the city’s formation and the ambition of its architect. In this work, Bedwyr Williams takes the birth of Richard Wilson’s 18th century landscape tradition to the extreme of a not-so-distant future. Williams explores national and international concerns around urbanisation and social engineering in contemporary cities.
