Blind Pan

Tacita Dean’s photogravure series Blind Pan is a near-black silhouette of what appears to be high, blasted moorland with the words ‘The Road to Colonnus’, spread sequentially over five large frames across which chalk words take the form of stage directions for Oedipus’ and Antigone’s journey through the wilderness, resembling a storyboard for an unmade film.
