Video 50

A video sketchbook, a visually dramatic and frequently humorous collection of one hundred short ‘episodes’ produced for television. Unfolding as a series of thirty-second vignettes, this stylistic essay is characterised by a deadpan theatricality, symbolist imagery, surrealist juxtapositions and the repetition of key visual motifs. Indelible images are accompanied by an ‘architectural’ sound score that includes spoken ‘phonetic patterns’ rather than words. By fusing his surprising visual logic and rhythms with unexpected temporal manipulations, Wilson creates a work of startling wit and poetry.
