Only one or two new videos this Friday as I’m busy updating the site with new videos and content. This first is from Vimeo and is a letter written and narrated by a mother longing for her child. It’s a powerful piece.
“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” Agatha Christie.
The second, again from Vimeo, is a project by Gus Cummins where he strives to share some of the sensations of his temporal lobe seizures, episodes which leave him without language or memory (temporarily dysphasic and amnesic) yet still (partially) cognitive. He constructs choreographic maps of his movement during seizures using medical video. The soundtrack is intended to convey the quasi spiritual feeling typical of his seizures and the distorted receptive language of dysphasia.
