Film No. 40
Long Grey Smudge | 06’ 21” | 2022
Super 8 to digital video, stereo, colour
A long car journey filmed unsteadily by the passenger, in muted greys and other colours. Service stations provide brief pauses and occasionally musical chords and notes falteringly appear on the soundtrack, but often there is silence. After making it I thought of Kraftwerk’s Autobahn but also Diddy Kong Racing. Juggling monotony, pleasure and reverie.
