OVERVIEW TITLES

AMSTERDAM CAMERA VACATION

Steve Reinke
Completed while in residence at Smart Project Space in Amsterdam. The artist refuses to see any of the sites and rarely leaves the abandoned research hospital where he is staying, but speaks in compulsive and frantic monologues....

THE CRY

Ria Pacquée
In various outdoor locations, a cry is performed. As the locations differ – under trees, in a rough wooden structure, in a field – the distance of the performer from the camera also differs, altering the volume and proximity of the sound. The performer also varies the vocal qualities of the cry, including its length, tone, pitch and volume...

CHALK TRACE

Esther Johnson
As a child in the 1950s, Ron Cockroft drew a chalk line from his school in Oldham to his home in Chadderton. CHALK TRACE commemorates and reanimates his graffiti journey through a now much-changed network of streets. The film was photographed in the original streets of Oldham as they stand today – over 60 years after Ron’s original graffiti...

WOMAN WALKING

Charley Case
A screen split in three. A woman giving birth in hospital. A pregnant belly just a few hours before. And nothing but the feet and legs of a man (or woman?) walking through deserts, mud, rivers, over rocks and mountains, asphalt and sidewalks and over a city rooftop, where (s)he ultimately loses the balance and drops to the ground.

Mass movements are both exciting and frightening to look at, as their mere existence questions the notion of singularity, and of the individual...

SLOW OBJECT 04

Edith Dekyndt
'Slow Object 04' is close-up video and it shows a delicate manipulation of an ordinary round rubber band bobbing up and down in slow motion. As if the movement of the disc and the hand takes place in an aquarium, the object appears to be suspended as escaping Earth’s gravity: it slightly deforms and it rarely returns to the initial point...

YouTube, in particular, is home to a large number of ephemeral amateur videos in which people express themselves about their daily lives. Although soon deleted, these clips do present a sincere landscape of our connected societies. Delete Forever proposes a ritualistic way of safeguarding these personal videos...
