OBSERVATIONAL SERIES 2

by John WOODMAN
2011-2015 / Video / color / sound and silent / 1S / 98' 00

This collection of 20 short videos in HD each between 3-7 minutes were filmed in continuous duration and made over a 5 year period from 2010-15. They follow on as a second series to my original OBSERVATIONAL SERIES made in Super 8 in 1978. They are dedicated to the life and work of A.L.Rees.

Duration was the important aspect in these videos which were filmed handheld in both interior and exterior spaces from a fixed viewpoint. They were made in direct observation of different kinds of phenomena such as movement, sound and transformations made through changes in light.
