I have decided to share this short video which was made during a residency in Berlin last summer.
I see this piece as a work in progress, which was made very quickly and with the most minimal of equipment. The piece entitled "There is a Monster in the Attic" is a collaboration between Philippa Jeffery, Joao Vilnei, and Aixa Sacco, as well as the five artists we invited to collaborate with us and who improvised their roles in response to a prop we gave to each one.
It is also a virtual collaboration with Chris Dooks who very generously allowed us to use his music.
I personally would like to see the film shortened by 10 minutes and to improve the sound quality, but here it is, as it is for now and is really a reflection of the quality of time and of the undercurrents felt during the three month residency at Homebase Lab, Berlin in the Spring and Summer of 2013.
Many thanks to Joao Vilnei, Aixa Sacco, Rafael Machado, Elena Dhal, Jules Treverton, Adrian Brun, James Budd Dees and Chris Dooks who all contributed so much to the making of this short video.
