Synopsis

A clip from “The Abyss” (1910). A couple quarrel and a parade of numbers “times” them. There’s a mix of software in the processing, AI to separate the silhouettes from their background, but a now obsolete font for the numbers. The sound is a disco track played backwards.

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.
