LONDON TRIP-TYCH

London Trip-tych is a film-poem about contemporary London. Conceived on a weekend in Herefordshire in October 2004 and filmed during the spring and summer of 2005, it is divided into three parts:

i The River: it begins with the Thames which is the repository of the collective memory of London. Through plays of light, images, word and sounds the sequence conveys a sense of nostalgia and coexistence of past and present.

ii Hubris: the sequence analyses the manifestations and consequences of the arrogance of Imperial London quoting from the Victorian era up to contemporary forms of hubris.

iii Noli me tangere: it explores the divisions and tensions between private and public space, reality and fiction, presence and absence.
