"Shelter 11" (2007) - 2” 7’ video loop Split screen single projection, one pair of centrally located speakers

Single screen video projection, Shelter 11 shows a split screen projection. On the left hand side the image shows analogue archive footage that depicts the destruction of M.O.D. test shelters. The right hand side image shows a durational still video of a pillbox in a rural location. Movement comes from the slow exploding pattern of the detonated shelter in the archive footage.

Within the work I am using the archive footage to explore in an understated way, visual patterns and rhythms that I saw as witness to the site. The sound is ambient to the site and reflects the often, capricious nature of the experience of being in such a place.

The ambition of the work is to provoke an exploration into an imaginative interior geography, through quiet visual rhythms more akin to haiku and poetics than to anything more pragmatic
