Sinopse
Composed of over five thousand individual photographs and field recordings all collected on the artist's street in South London, Grosvenor Terrace is a hypnotic journey through the everyday details of the suburban landscape. The film explores the world at our feet, collaging the seemingly mundane elements of the city to transform an otherwise quotidian space into an experiential flicker. The patterns and textures bring to mind the direct films of artists such as Robert Breer and Stan Brakhage. By echoing these styles within a digital realm, the piece calls into question the modern aesthetics of the moving image and the nature in which the medium is able to represent time. The fragmentary motion created by montaging individual photographs highlights the relationship between each static frame and the illusory movement of the film.
