Somewhere in Between - version 4
00:02:53 2005
This video explores shifts of realities. Using the real world as the point of departure, Somewhere in Between takes visions of horizons taken around the world at twilight. Mixing misty lakes in Scotland with the polluted waters of Bombay; tropical waters of the Caribbean and the muddy waters of Northern Australia. These visions are then broken down and whittled away, reconfigure to make another reality. They are manipulated such that their details become indistinct, leaving them barely discernable as seascapes. These revisions reflect our tenuous hold on memory, the impact our emotional state can have upon the past and present. The image focuses on a never ending seascape horizon. These visions are slowly decayed over time to suggest another reality, leaving them barely discernable as seascapes.
Somewhere in Between - version 4 explores how memory and emotions can effect our sense of time and reality. The piece uses the voice of the artist's deceased grandfather, recorded near to his death, as he discusses his fears of life and fears of death.
