Film No.1

Film No.1 1971

1

Film No.1 is a 10-minute loop film. The systems of super-imposed loops are mathematically inter-related in a complex manner. The starting and cut off points for each loop are not clearly exposed, but through repetitions of sequences in different colours, in different ‘material’ realities (i.e. anegative, positive bas-relief, neg-pos overlay) yet in constant rhythm (both visually and on the soundtrack hum) one is manipulated to attempt to work out the system structure … The film deals with permutations of material, in a prescribed manner but one by no means ‘necessary’ or logical (except within the film’s own constructed system/serial.)

Made by the man who released a 70s electronic single Fuck You under the name Lucifer, this is an aggressive, confrontational work. Brooding recordings soundtrack the piece while Irving as biker and killer, drives the roads of London, making for the sea, mapping his own dark, heavy trip and the UK as it was. A murder has been committed; what will be the consequences?
