Being and Doing

Documenting an art that deliberately seeks to exist within the moment is fraught with contradictions but significant aspects of performance exist solely through being recorded. In this film- a collaboration between one of Britain's leading performance artists and a major independent filmmaker-the recordings of the performance have been extensively manipulated, the images slowed down, fragmented , details isolated to construct a filmic memory of the events. This process combined with a jagged editing style, has both reinstated the original impact while giving the film the grainy quality of newsreel.
