Description

Rain Shadow [1997] is a highly post produced 5 minute audio-visual work that creates a complex multimodal poetics through the use of original and found footage, (often embedded into each other by use of multiple screens in one screen), slices of texts animated and overlaid on screen. Cryptic and often discordant noises coupled with often barely discernible words form a soundscape that resembles a 'drunk tuning a shortwave' (text from work). Together these elements and a voice over explore and disrupt and offer alternatives to cinematic notions of narrative.
