I've been terribly busy right now and I've had to put on hold my idea of video portraits for the moment. Instead I have been looking at collage work. I wanted to create a nostalgia for the immediate past. That probably doesn't make a lot of sense. It's like when I look at my sisters and I know that they will be growing up so quickly and I suddenly become nostalgic about the present moment that we're in. It is the same for the house I'm living in and the moments I have, I want to preserve them. But I know that one day they will be forgotten. I wanted to create video that highlights the growth of my sisters and also create settings that will immerse the viewer. I want them to be able to feel what I did in those moments. A lot of these clips are old. From 2011 onwards. My deceased cat features in one. As she got older I got more frantic in trying to preserve images of her, because I didn't want to forget any detail about her character. This clip was a part of that. Another clip that featured overlayed was a slow-motion video of my sisters on a trampoline. When I first started to experiment with film I created a video from this clip which has always been my favourite thing I've made, even though it was so simplistic.
Here Is the collage. And below is the old video I made, just if you're interested.
