SpaceLapse©2001:
As pedestrians we tend to see a street of shops as a connected unit, and when things change along the street such as shop fronts we accept them as part of the streets dynamic nature. This short film takes a 24hour timelapse sequence of a group of shops and splits up the scene by adjusting the time for each shop. By speeding up and slowing down each shops speed of timelapse the viewer has an opportunity to see the street as a series of components each with its own time according to its use. The result is a pulsating array of multiple timelapses from one scene giving us an insight into the complexity that makes up a simple street.

The style of the film takes on a educational tone in order to make sense of the complex image that is built up, and although essentially a piece of explorative art, the work brings with it a sense of a science and art research project. The film was commissioned for an American Arts DVD ‘Toc’
