This film explores and reworks perceptions of urban peculiarities found in an Inner Western Sydney landscape through ever-shifting camera movements and unconventional editing techniques. Decisions about what to film within the confines of the specific parameters of the camera frame were determined as much by the decision to avoid filming what lay outside the periphery of that frame.
Human artifacts in this landscape include such peculiarities as the desolate rooftops of multistorey car parks, street signage, telegraph poles, power lines, empty construction sites and shop front awnings. The re-working is a fractured spatio-temporal continuity that pursues, in the visual and auditory realm, a new mode of expression that seeks to expand cinematic thought.
About David Anthony Sant
I was born in 1968, Sydney, Australia. The artist videos I have produced since December 2000 combine experimental visuals with experimental sound. A subject that re-occurs in many of my films is the experience of location and space. These films are often films about space and spaciousness as experienced within urban environments. Every film I create is an attempt to explore the visual language of the moving image. It is an approach to film making that can best be described as extemporaneous film making.
