“You were so cruel. See you tomorrow”

Scenes from a found roll of martial arts movie footage spooled past a digital camera on a light table, stopping and starting to pick out parts of the narrative. The formal play of fights, betrayal, dishonour and ruined friendships is accompanied by routine sounds of a city going about its business outside.

found 35mm movie film are pulled over a light box under the fixed gaze of video capture.  Movements of characters can be discerned through veils of apparent motion and their motivations artfully speculated upon.

A duet of film and video. The film image is unraveled and reassembled, filtered through video capture electronics. Hazy and melting slowly in a soft pink abstracts, but still recognizable, figures in landscapes emerge and pass through like ghosts.

DV  sound 11 mins
A composition of scenes and sounds in a montage reflecting poetic and musical forms. The camera, a toy, records only in black with a crude plastic lens limiting pictorial detail, creating ample room for the mind’s eye to roam and query, or not, the nature of image, meaning and attachment.

In an eye/ear duet, movements and cuts in the image are in contrapuntal momentum, first with Satie’s Dance de Travers and then with twittering birds and bees in a field.
