Space

By  Steve Dutton 2024

Space was commissioned by the Fluxus Museum experimental Video Prize 2024.

I  was working with a broad sense of the problematics of language and trying to play with those issues as a form of material. There are motifs in the work that have been appearing in my work a lot, such as Laika, (The Russian Space Dog) and references to The Russian Cosmists, but more specifically I think this piece concerns the mattering of language itself, and the mistakes, stutters, malapropisms and gaps which characterise it. As the piece began to take shape I came to think of it as an attempt to develop a form of faltering call (or cry) out to whoever (or whatever might) be ‘out there’.
