somewhere else

A short film experiment with a durational element, part of a visual research series exploring the experience of being in a city at night. This piece was made in collaboration with Ruth Sewell.

We filmed overnight, from sundown to sunrise, with a group of self-selecting participants, and wrote a fictional narrative performed as a voiceover. We travelled through central London and along the river. I filmed on 16mm, and after we finished shooting, I processed the film using water drawn from the river we'd travelled along, and the same day's sun that can be seen rising at the end of the film.
