Synopsis

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.

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.

Two cities with two women walking in them at night. In one (found footage), light is all that remains. In the other (created in AI), there was never anything else.
