Richard in your mind film clip "Losing our minds"






I just completed a new film clip for Sydney band "Richard in your mind". This clip is based on an art video i was working on whilst in residence at the Piet Zwart Institute in Holland. By layering projected footage and re- filming each layer I found that I could create a scene in which multiple versions of the same person could interact, kind of. I was reading a lot of Jorge Luis Borges and Kurt Vonnegut at the time. So i wanted to experiment with multiple images of self and changing perspectives of time, which is why i ended up calling the videos "Time sculptures".

I recently got the opportunity to create a video clip for my favorite Sydney band "Richard in your mind" so i jumped on the opportunity to use this idea again. I thought 'the only thing better than one "Richard in your mind" band would be two "Richard in your mind" bands mixed together through the magical power of video art'. So it goes.
