Strangelove Festival 2019 invited artists to submit 30 second films, responding to the festival's theme of duration - reflecting our fast-paced consumer culture of digital media. Thirty seconds is: how long most adverts last, how long most people look at an artwork in a gallery, 12 breathes and an 0.008th of an hour.

In response to Paterson’s materialist re-enchantment of the scientific, this piece explores the pressing contemporary context in which the artist thinks through, and with, nature. This headphone work attempts a parallel of Patterson’s transformational method. Here rather than a sublime rendering of the physical world, a political viewpoint is theatricalised. In so doing, that which has been presented as fact moves into the context of the dramatic and by inference the fictitious.

Solitude drenched in melancholy. Repose harks back to early childhood fears, instilled and developed through adolescence, manifesting in adult anxiety. Synthesised rhythmic loops are reminiscent of the artist’s memories of a looming clock tower which once stood over him in a seaside town he called his childhood home. Repose is a desperate search for meaning and understanding in a world that offers none. It is a despairing search for solace, and a journey of discovery - inviting the listener to take time in this moment, to be, to reflect and let go.
