I
was invited to do a workshop at the Werkplaats Typografie, at the
end of the week a few of us started to make impromptu connections
between objects found in the studio. It started by accident with
Jeff showing me a typeface he designed based on a font discovered
on the cover of an old green book. Since making the font he found
an almost identical font used on a 12" record. This started
the way to a cascade of connections, the colours on the record cover
matched those on a box of drinking chocolate. The search began to
form a line/trail of connections using colour, form and material
to link from one object to the next.
The trail was filmed on a digital camera in a dark studio, each
part was light with an Angle Pose lamp carried along the trail.
The work is influenced and connects to both the Loose Association
lecture/text by Ryan Gander and visually to the CD cover for Momus:
Otto Spooky, by James Goggin.
Thanks to the following collaborators from the Werkplaats: Jeff
Ramsey, David Bennewith and Enrico Bravi
The five short Quicktimes present the trail in its entirety, when
viewed together new connections and juxtapositions are formed between
the five movies.
