One of the legacies of the COVID-19 pandemic is a reorientation towards the parochial as an everyday space of intimacy and affective hyperlocality. Robert Macfarlane observes how the parochial, stripped of its pejorative and ecclesiastical connotations, might be thought of as an aperture through which the world can be seen. This essay aims to elicit insights into how we might critically and creatively advance a poetics of the parochial as part of a broader project of spatial anthropology. Such a project demands attention to theoretically open-ended and methodologically conversant questions with the experimental and contingent “making-do” of the bricoleur. Accordingly, the concept of the aperture is deployed both metaphorically and literally. The latter through repeated videographic perambulations, using a GoPro camera, around a semi-rural landscape in northeast Wales. The parochiality is explored by casting a “GoPro gaze” at a practiced place held together by the embodied movements of a walker beating the habitual, ordinary bounds of everyday worlds. This is an undertaking that is less concerned with the representational—the impulse to map or to procure more data—than it is with the intimacy and phenomenological immensity of spaces that flow within, without and beyond the cinematic or videographic frame.
