Ark

Ark (6'12) HD Film A film commissioned by Project Space Leeds in collaboration with the Artemis archive. The film is staged in the storage facility at the Artemis archive in Leeds. As the camera pans through the shelves, it is accompanied by a low, rumbling sound developed from a mix of the ambient warehouse sound and found sound, that creates a sense of unease. The film enlivens the stillness of the environment, the sense of forgotten places, objects and time juxtaposed against the moving time that passes in front of the screen. The camera gives the impression of a stilted walk-through experience of the facility.
