Figure vs. Ground

Daniel Cockburn and Emily Vey Duke

2004, 07:00 minutes, colour, English

TAPECODE 209.15

A roving search across endless colour-fields gradually reveals a solitary singer, struggling to be heard over distortion and doppelgangers. A journey from cacophony to harmony.

This video was commissioned by the 640 480 video collective for the VS. programme, a showcase of collaborative video works resulting from tape exchanges between performers and post-producers. For more information visit www.640480.com.
