Private Project

Green and Red, but Terracotta Red

We are looking through the mirror of time, into distorted memories, warped faces, collapsed homes. While several narrators tell us about the most vivid colours in their dreams.
The film consists of a collage of 16mm found footage that I further processed and decayed using a gentle combination of bleaching techniques. This process allowed me to partially lift the emulsion from the film base and re-shift it and re-position it by hand. ​
The narration is from the anthology Dreams by Delia Derbyshire.
