MECHANICAL FAILURE 1:19 (2007)

video: Sophie Clements
sound: Chris McAteer (NYO)

Part of a collaboration with Toby Cornish (Jutojo) and composers from the National Youth Orchestra, in which 8 short films were made for Harp and Bicycle, around the theme of the Tour de France.
In each film, the bicycle was used as a main element in the filming process, either as a mark-making tool, or filming device. Here, bicycle tyres were used to print with ink on paper, and re-animated to follow the percussive score.
