"Conundrum". 1986 - 1987
A video shot in south london about a notion to explore cyclic histories through a series of video edits. The video starts in a non - urbanised space and introduces elements of urbanism, industrialisation and architecture. Imagery of people and the masses flood into the middle of the video, and finally the video ends with apocalytic landscapes and ruined buildings. The video is linear but a non- linearity is explored through repetition in the editing process. ie a sequenece of events appear again and again quickly showing all the other previous shots.
Originally released on Provision.The music sound track incorporates found sound and was released as an lp on dossier records in germany. This was a joint video and lp release a sort of concept audio visual project album from 1987.
When I have time I will put the whole video up as a streaming file.
