3 Scenes: City, Pool, Carol

3 channel video work, mono sound

A work about desire as mise en scene, rhythm and movement. Each video depicts a specific fantasy space operating at the intersection of the experiential and the symbolic.

In contrast to melodramatic modes of expressive interiority, desire in this work is expressed through a manipulation of the surface aspects of performance and image, through minor movements, gesture, and rhythms.

Desire is explored as a rhythm, as movements in time that create a feeling experience. This model is distinct from object-oriented and identity-based conceptualisations.
