Deceptive landscapes: fragments of unreliable memory (2011), was a performance lecture imagined, composed and performed by Simon Murray and Wendy Kirkup. Provoked by reflections on the multiple meanings enshrined in the word landscape, this performance played with landscape as inscape, as family history, as longing, as unreliable memory and as always ‘bubbling up around us’ (Mike Pearson). These fragments play particularly with the real and imagined memories of heroic but complex women in Simon’s family.
