Televisual practice and its economic determination. Nineteenth century bourgeois theatrical conventions and their effects. Sexuality and the limits of televisual representation. So what do we talk about? Just a few topics are available and you know them as well as I do. There’s sex of course, always there’s sex.

Though initially predicating a feedback loop between Echo and Narcissus, I felt I should take my basic strategy of generating an image and sound track which having utilised a developed and therefore artificial grammar to produce meaning in the Inevitability of Colour, …
“In 1992 I went to Russia as a cinematographer to shoot two documentaries about the rise of the Orthodox Church during the demise of Communism. I found myself in Zagorsk, a holy place in Russia that epitomised this changeover of values in the Soviet federation.
