CHRONOS FRAGMENTED by Malcolm LeGrice with music by John Eacott and Stewart Louis de Canonville, is a programme based on Video-8 and Hi-8 material shot over six years.
Chronos is the Titan - the time god who rules the universe - the flux in which events are born, mature and decay. The work explores video as a creative form of memory. It moves outwards from the particular and personal images of a diary - the fragmentary and inconsistent building blocks of memory - towards their transformation into more fundamental symbols in the cycle of days, seasons, birth and death. This transforming symbolic memory is all placed in the context of the social and political events of the world - particularly China and the Balkans - as they encountered in the artist’s personal space.
