My Moon Her World

1995, UK, 16mm, color, sound, 7 min.

Animation is combined with live action which has been treated - pixillated, refilmed, slow motion - so as to emphasise its connection with the grotesque animated segments. Abstract and figurative are juxtaposed, as are black-and-white line with broad panes of colours, and spontaneously-generated images with pre-planned ideas. The loose theme is that of gravity becoming decentred - merging and spilling out, the dissolution of inner and outer. The organising principle behind the diverse techniques is to take the viewer through this journey from the minute to the infinite. - Vicky Smith
