It Goes Without Saying
2021, English. Directed by Greg Pope.
It Goes Without Saying is a film/sound/performance piece based on a text/poem of the same title. Images in color and black+white are super-imposed from two 16mm projectors. One projector plays a 5 minute color film; this film is played forwards and backwards, continually being re-threaded – we see writing and un-writing, painting and un-painting. The second projector screens a series of writing actions on various surfaces; on rock, on paper, in negative and in revealed invisible writing separated by black intervals. During the performance these two superimposed projections create a flow of repeating actions: creating and uncreating, writing and erasure, color and blackness. The sound is created live by the performer through manipulation of a hand cranked cassette machine, contact mics, guitar pick-ups, looper and percussive machines. The text is read intermittently through the performance.
