Northernness


In ten days time this symposium starts and I for one am looking forward to it! I think there will be some very interesting presentations thanks to Ysanne Holt the organiser. Also I think I will get a chance to re-connect with my Scandinavian roots as it were. That will be very good since I do feel cut off from many of the people and places that mean a great deal to me.
I am presenting a film Borderline on the Friday before lunch. This is a film in process. Since I moved to this part of the world, Northumberland, I have been responding to it through my metier. Film. I hope to continue working on Borderline throughout my living here. That is what I mean by process. As I learn more about this environment and more about my relation to it or response the film will grow and evolve and become sometimes more and sometimes less e.g. from one screen to several, an installation to a simple video etc. It will reflect the very place itself in that way.
I hope that if you can make it to Northernness you will say hallo to me!
