Condensation Trail

Condensation Trail 1982

1

Flashes of changing color (a result of the celluloid being slightly exposed during the changing of reels), mark the first movements of a plane's steady climb into the blue sky, leaving a condensation trail behind. This 22-second long shot is combined with black and white film, in which diagonal lines and parts of the image are cut out. Though these effects may be highly controlled by the director, at the heart of Condensation Trail is an event which is unique and unstaged, and which is unlikely to ever repeat itself. The plane crosses the screen from the lower left to the upper right corner. Halfway on its journey, a bird flies into the frame and crosses the plane's condensation trail exactly at its very end, making a perfectly sharp diagonal as it slowly reaches for its lower right corner.

And we speak with tongues of serpents,and the baying of the Hounds, and the great bell sound that cracks the barrier-- and great are we who rule, and small are you who suffer. (from The Electrical Prelude)

Coastal Calls

Coastal Calls 1982

"Coastal Calls is a film which deals with primary filmic elements and produces constantly shifting relationships between them. The film is made up of four 100ft rolls/takes of slow pans of a beach and its surrounding landscape with focus and exposure in constant change. The sound is that of space (sea, wind) alternating with that of a wind instrument (Shawm). Only at specific instances do focus and exposure match to give an image that is readable in illusionistic terms, so that any attempt to 'place' oneself is subverted by the constant perceptual shift applied to the image ... never gathered into representation but only crossing points of unstabilised representation, as if by accident." - Michael Maziere, Undercut.

A precursor of much recent scratch work. The tape recuts and fuses two adverts for washing machines; one from the 1950's, the other from the 80's. Using only this original source material the tape creates a dialogue between two media visions of a technological utopia - both equally absurd and disturbing.
