Synopsis

Action sequences taken from three cinema films are turned into a semi-abstract experience in which the world is literally turned on its side. Material was taken from DVD’s purchased recently from charity shops in London, a further example of appropriating dominant cinema as a canvas for video art.

Ampersand, 1978, re-purposes clips from a 1974 film I never completed. In Specto they are re-purposed again. The hot tungsten filament of a Specto film projector is a recurring image, along with re-worked clips of a troupe of actors performing Artaud’s Jet of Blood at locations in the city of Lincoln. You’ll see the cathedral and a dilapidated mill with UNSAFE 74 painted on its wall.

Experimental

a sum of parts

Director: Stuart Pound

Year: 2024

The “parts” are a painting of my own from some time ago, a waveform whose origin I don't remember, and a travelling letter “x” that suggests a stitch bringing them together, though what actually does so is almost certainly the Bach soundtrack.
