Death of Place (Annotated) 2018

"An abstract film that accumulates 16mm images from my archive. All images have been produced with analogue effects. Apart from transferring to digital with my JK optical printer all interventions to the image are material. What invisible language rises to the surface when images become unlocatable.

In this latest iteration, this work is further wrapped in found footage from the Russian Revolution, home movies, the utterings of Marshall McLuhan and Vilém Flusser, and annotated in ways that extend its word-play with a renewed emphasis on the crash that ends the film." Dirk De Bruyn
