Movie

Gritty

“GRITTY was rephotographed off both slides and cine footage made in 1983. The location is a popular beach where people are active enjoying the sunshine. However, I wanted to explore the notion of the Gaze and to bring out the darker aspects that resort, specially hints of voyeurism. I do this through exaggeratedly slow camera movements upon the still images and long unnaturally extended pans with moving images of children running and fishing in sunset reflecting pools.”
