Transmitter, DVD 4mins, looped 2004.
A film shot during a period spent living and working in Berlin. The
film documents the movements of plastic sheets which I suspended from
the windows on the top floor of an abandoned tower building. The lightness
of the plastic sheeting means that its movements, generated by the wind
are considerably slowed down.
The day the film was shot, I set up a pirate radio station to broadcast
a soundtrack that I recorded in the stairwell, which features an aural
multiplex of rhythms and acoustic noises of the building. These sounds
are mixed through a computer and broadcast from an FM transmitter at
the top of the building
