Twice Over

Synopsis

The sequencing of colour and sound for Twice Over followed a pattern based on progressions across the scale of colours and tones. An element of chance was introduced by re-filming a second variation, overlaying it with the first sequence. In the gap between layers, aleatory colours and tone combinations arise.

Economy of Excess, film still Economy of Excess

Director: Karen Russo

Year: 2005

ECONOMY OF EXCESS is comprised of footage of the sewage pipes of Essex, shot by a small robot camera that is normally used to locate blockages. The film creates an entrancing movement into the ever-expanding circles of a subterranean parallel universe, which mutates into a hypnotizing voyage of impressionistic colour and light. Humble in its origins yet dazzling in its effects, this video epitomizes the way in which the work continually straddles the line between the sublime and the mundane, turning society’s excess into a spiritual initiation journey.
