Video, 1998
duration 4'58"


The video consists of a series of tightly shot close-ups stills and observes a scene on a beach.

Three female figures are crossing the frames alternately, moving up and down the beach, collecting pebbles and throwing them into the water. Eventually the tide rushes in and washes over the beach whilst the figures have disappeared.

Suggesting cycles within cycles of intervention and erasure, the video scans a moment in time and frames its transience.

TRAMDEPOT GALLERY, November 1998
