I Surround You
‘I surround you’ is a three projection installation informed by the Martello Towers that line the south coast between Folkestone and Eastbourne. Only 25 out of the 74 built remain. Their form, relationship to each other and spacing along the South Coast suggest symmetry to the relationship between frames and the filmstrip. Each tower is filmed alternately, frame by frame, in a pseudo exchange. Standing like abandoned sentinels, silently communicating with each other. In projection the resultant flickering loops portray a compression of the space between the towers and the impenetrable forts appear to be transparent.
'Film Loop' is a companion work consisting of an overhead projector enlarging a single strip of Super 8mm large enough to engulf the space and assume a loop position. The image is of a frame by frame pan from the roof of Seaford Museum, the 74th Martello Tower. The single frame presenting itself in its contained strip format, lays bear the continuity of the strip and its suggested notion of movement whilst amplifying the contents of its’ contained images.
