Dean Quarry / with eyes that are not seen are quickly forgotten

'Dean Quarry / with Eyes That Are Not Seen Are Quickly Forgotten' is a collaborative film experiment that attempts to engage the viewer with the materiality of filmmaking and glimpses of an abandoned industrial site on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, UK. The film was shot on Super8 and hand processed, however, an accidental misloading of the film led to much of it becoming stuck together, obscuring the exposed images underneath the film material. The music is written in response to the material quality of the film form, with tones and melody revealing themselves as identifiable images appear and are lost. The key of the piece is drawn from the grid reference of the quarry. The result is a meditation on old industrial and natural objects and a place in transition, on the verge of being transformed into something else but paused in time
