0°00 Navigation by artist Simon Faithfull, is a film published in extracts online which records Faithfull’s physical journey along the Meridian line. Negotiating all obstacles and individuals encountered as he attempts to cross private property, the M25 and Gunpowder Park, Faithfull’s path will be recorded by a single camera as a slapstick film of one man’s epic journey.

0°00 Navigation, which will unfold over several months, not only explores the historical and imperial politics of the common construct of time, but will inevitably become a survey of all types of spaces that constitute our land.

The final completed version of the film will be premiered at Gunpowder Park in March 2009.
