In Between (remembering and forgetting)
2010/37:36 min/video/stereo/CFMDC
A video essay composed of nine film and video chapters made between 2004 and 2010, In Between (remembering and forgetting) journeys through an abstract and poetic landscape demarcated by half-glimpsed memories and fragments of the past. Using multiple film and video formats and a fluid episodic structure, the work expands beyond the personal to create an enigmatic piece where the viewer’s own experiences and memories resonate. The result is a sustained poetic meditation on family, place and time.
The nine chapters of In Between (remembering and forgetting: Grosse Isle; Foley Mountain; Lot 22, Concession 5; Queen of the Seas; Going Back to Shire; Tourist of memory; Traces in 3 Parts; Lake Ontario (in my head); and Away for Christmas.
