This work started with a single reel of black and white silent film appearing to show a morning shift in a television factory from an unidentified time and place.
This found footage having been disconnected from its specific history raises question about the unseen and forgotten aspects of working and manufacturing social history. The images focus on the bodies and gestures of the persons working within this mechanised factory environment. Anonymous faces are caught in fleeting moments looking back into the camera reflecting their awareness of being recorded, but for what purpose?
The specific details of this factories, location and date of filming are unknown it is re-structured with extracts from the artists own archive of film experiments.
The sound track is composed from optical sounds created by hand drawn lines on blank film and scratches into unexposed film emulsions, creating a synthesis of recorded and electronically generated sounds.
