The Voyage of Nonsuch

Collaboration with Karen Mirza

Part III: The Voyage of Nonsuch, a Whitstable Biennale commission
19 June - 4 July 2010
A single channel video installation that analyses how film and film archives influence our view of cultural history, social space and everyday life. Constructed as a film essay, with a script composed almost entirely of citations, it observes and participates in the social and political spaces of the archive. Filmed on-location in the British Film Institute (BFI) archive.
Plus two events:
Social History and Telling Tales - with local historian and film collector Tony Blake, 19 June
I'm unpacking my library, yes I am - roundtable discussion, panel members: Ruth Beale, Ben Cook, Will Fowler, Karen Mirza, Sally O'Reilly, 3 July
