Hi all, thank you for taking the time to view the video!
In a very general, not too researched way, I was reading about Deep Time in (I think, I’m still on holiday away from my bookshelves) Collapse journal, Volume 2. That, coupled with a comic from Image, called Injection, which touches on aspects of British folklore and AI, got me thinking last year about the idea of cinema as occult exploration; part ritual, part documentation, perhaps? So I created these Deep Time Exploration experiment films, which I’ve linked below. This latest piece is an extension of that exploration, trying to see something in the landscape beyond what initially meets the eye. As for decaying landscapes, I’m extremely risk-averse and nervous whenever I go near any cliffs, constantly worrying that they’ll collapse and crush me. There’s beauty in there, but also fear. To me, the landscapes are constantly collapsing. Maybe I’m being paranoid. I’ve been using GoPros for a couple of years, because I’ve wanted to take this ‘extreme sports’ documentation tool and use it in a different, creative/playful way. As I’ve been thinking about this all now, I realised that one root was probably the work of Mark Amerika. In fact, an interview for DigiCult* I did with Mark a few years ago, probably lodged itself in my neural pathways. It’s rare that I get to think and write about my own work, so thank you and your references and thoughts have really got me thinking and making some connections.
