TIME'S FREQUENCIES CODA
2 minutes, (2000)
The original internet images from TIME'S FREQUENCIES are sequenced again to make a frenetic collage of flashing frames sometimes cutting from negative to positive in quick succession as fragments of sound are mixed and played in reverse.
SATARA
4 minutes, (2000)
SATARA is a study of a moving figure in black and white, returning at the end to a real world of colour. Like PLAZA CONTINUUM the video is music driven, with images shaped to the hurdy-gurdy music of Rémy Couvez.

Pairs of words taken from a discarded poetic text appear beneath re-framed images downloaded from an internet S&M porno site. The percussive soundtrack picks up the almost robotic movement of a woman displayed to look both erotic and remote.

Thirty years ago making experimental films, I used a technique which breaks footage into blocks of one second, divides each block into four, re-orders the segments and then re-assembles the footage. As with slowed down frames, the viewer sees how the impression of a moving image is created. But the sense of both movement and stillness, time and no-time, is even stronger. In this video I have reproduced this digitally with very different effects. The original footage was shot in Cabot Plaza, Canary Wharf, and is a study in colour, texture and pattern, music driven, with images shaped to the hurdy-gurdy music of Rémy Couvez.
THE PHANTOM CITY
7 minutes, (2000)
A film that I made over 25 years ago was transferred to digital video and sampled to obtain image sequences of a city; its historic cathedral, castle and deserted streets. All images were slowed down to one third of normal speed and centred with a duplicate mirror image placed to either side to form a rectangular triptych. The captions beneath the images describe some personal aspects of one
