4: untitled
2004/ 4'
director, photography, editing: allsopp&weir.
production:allsopp&weir. UK
An originally improvised performance, intruding on the sharp lines
of Richard Roger's Lloyds building in London's deserted financial district,
is forced into structure, or structured improvisation is abandoned
to technology. The sound of the piece is produced by isolating micro
beats and breaks from single frames in the original soundtrack, and
rebuilding them into stuttering and fragmented rhythms of heeltap and
gasp, which slip away from, support and overwhelm the image. Movement
is produced through a series of violent cuts, the body montaged into
its own double, an exhaustive athleticism.
