Fields in Mist
The video is a long continuous take made by filming into a mist within the River Eden Valley, Cumbria. The changing density of the mist intermittingly obscures clear perception of the represented image. Sometimes the video becomes an image solely of mist and at others of trees within fields and at yet at other times subtle combinations of both. The transient quality of the mist is portrayed through the long continuous take which provides a reflexive quality and a contemplative space for the spectator. In this respect the ‘out of frame’ sound recorded in real time sync with the image also plays a part in creating and imaginary space for the viewer. The phenomenological and perceptual experience of this kind of video/film viewing has been called an ‘analogue for consciousness’.

Dark Germany
The film transports us from the inside of an old factory of cinematographic films to a sensory journey to places initially unknown, but that gradually enclose a belonging region. The film presents the integration of Socialist Germany – ironically called by Western Dark Germany – and the definition of a new scope. In the darkness of the plant and from other hidden sensations of places, we are immersed in constant discoveries of the territory, combined with feelings of opening and closing, evaluation of distances and survey of new measures. The film overlaps past and future in layers of sensations that balance between the disappearance and the invention of a place.
