Video Art Programme #1

Synopsis

Footage shot in an abandoned hospital gradually loses its recognisability: the image distorts, changes colour, breaks into fragments and layers onto itself. A documentary space turns into an unstable, almost abstract world where memory of the place no longer exists as an exact recollection but as a constantly shifting perception.
