Enfold

'Motion-pictures are, or should be, an art which makes its statement in terms of time and movement; the medium is not so much concerned with any single instant as with the change from instant to instant.'

Maya Deren

Footnote:
The piece was filmed at Trent Park in October '05, and the idea took several attempts before I felt I had what I needed. I wanted footage which filled the frame, and which showed the movement of joints, and how this motion affected the fabric of the clothing I was wearing. During a two hour filming session, I generally try out up to half a dozen different framing and movement ideas - generally, some will work, some won't, and some will develop into something else entirely. I tried out the 'folding joint' idea in July. filming floor-based movement from above.




This didn't give me what I'd imagined, so I tried again in early October, with upright movement, which was getting closer to my idea, but still not exactly right.



The third and final attempt is much more concerned with the movement of fabric than I thought it would be intially.
