...Merely to remember something is meaningless unless the remembered image is combined with a moment in the present affording a view of the same object or objects. Like our eyes, our memories must see double; those two images then converge in our minds into a single heightened reality... "
Robert Shattuck, Proust’s Binoculars//1964

satellite, dual projections, 16mm, hand processed colour reversal, 9’00, sound by Erkki Veltheim, 2018
‘satellite’ is a ritual in film that performs the fracturing of the self and its dispersal into the surrounding environment by the act of spinning and altering time. It employs dual-screen 16mm film projection of the same film strip running through 2 projectors with a time delay, and is accompanied by a soundtrack composed of a single fragment of a woman’s voice that is replicated and modulated and circles around the image at different speeds. This ritual is concerned with the nature of time, repetition, memory and animist transformation.
The image is manipulated live with distorted glass.
