Programme
Bearing Elsewhere
Hondartza Fraga and Markus Lantto (Nyckelharpa), 2010
6 mins 13 secs
Footage
taken by the artist from different moving transports: trains, planes,
boats, while travelling mostly through a snowy landscape serves to
construct a sequence that does not follow a particular narrative or
chronology but presents instead a journey in a constant state of
recurrence, never complete or definite, never arriving; so, in many
ways, it remains completely still.

Using
the top ten best selling Airfix aeroplane kit names (above) a narrative
is written, including each name of the aeroplane in the order it
appears on the list. The imagery within the film is of an abstract
sculpture made from Airfix aeroplane pieces, but constructed in a
haphazard way, referencing the source of the narrative. Hurricanes and
Typhoons, Mosquitoes and Spitfires are transformed into places and
events that are woven into a narrative that takes place on an impossible
shoreline, where a queue of people abandon the mementos of their life
into the sea.
Shipping Lanes

Additional camera, Michael Hobson
April
22nd - Negotiations for the journey were drawn in the earth by the
Mekong River at Voen Khan, we had no words in common. Already visited
pages from the guidebook were folded into small, flat, open boats,
similar to the real thing, to be floated at the official border, the
centre of the river, between Laos and Cambodia. The boat stopped, the
boatman smoked and the boats were placed one by one into the current.
Their drift at the mercy of the current and their destination Laos or
Cambodia, unknown.
Re-animation
Juliet MacDonald, 2007
2 mins 35 secs
A
series of 16 half-hour drawings were conducted in four public locations
in Leeds – spaces through which many people passed. The drawings follow
the trajectory of many individual journeys. These divergent paths were
drawn into a collective figure – the crowd. When scanned and animated,
the 16 drawings from each location become a single mutating figure,
stretching between different states.
Light Night is an annual multi-artform festival coordinated by Leeds
City Council's Arts and Regeneration unit in partnership with
organisations and artists across the city.
