Slum Clearance (2017), by Michael C Coldwell

This new music video for CC is also part of my ongoing project: The Remote Viewer

The experimental film features archive photographs of Quarry Hill in Leeds, and is the latest test output in my research project into rephotography and hauntology. The fieldwork for my PhD is now complete- the result has been a large corpus of impossible rephotographs, all depicting urban landscapes which no longer exist. 

My problem now is how to present these images in ways which communicate this thwarted rephotographic process, investigate the haunting/affecting qualities of the photographic artefacts themselves and continue to pose those crucial temporal and ontological questions of the medium. 

Here I try to evoke the experience of searching for these lost spaces, the absence of them - the images drift on top of each other, unresolved, unreconciled - though the photographs have been returned to where they came from, they can find no foothold, they are forever in limbo...

Could this be the basis for a final video installation output?

I can’t stop listening to The Remote Viewer. Totally addicted to their music

The Remote Viewer, Coil (2002)

Much ‘tribal’ music isn’t just problematic but quite cringe, (typically) white guys (typically) coming across new and different instruments and (typically) deciding those instruments alone make music ‘experimental’. Coil, however, did it quite well. On the rather elusive Remote Viewer Balance, Christopherson and an expanded lineup (with hurdy-gurdy and pipes) strung out two notable pieces of music (the second track here is much of a muchness), each rich and complex between low hum and whirrs and high screeches, intertwining melodies.

Pick: ‘Remote Viewing 1’
