How Little We Know of Our Neighbours is an experimental documentary about Britain's Mass Observation Movement.

The film looks at Mass Observation and its relationship to contemporary phenomena, from police surveillance to webcams to reality television, pointing to ways in which our notions of privacy and self-definition have changed.

Au fond des yeux

Au fond des yeux

2005 • 3 min • France
To embody moments of transition between two different worlds, worlds which look alike. There are only antechambers and settings. Being the mask one wears, I have lost my decency. Dream and lie, what is the prospect of a one-eyed man? I question the dreamer’s figure as being simultaneously the emitter and the receiver of its own visions, the director and unique spectator of its projections.
Antonym of Concord(e)

Antonym of Concord(e)

2005 • 9 min • Japan
A work whose title is the idea. Shot at the famous Place de la Concorde in Paris. The square owes its discord neither to its Egyptian obelisk nor to the fact that it was the site of the execution of King Louis by guillotine. The film was shot with Super8, Kodacrome 80 film and has been re-shot with an optical printer during editing. The mixing of stills with 24 frames/second film creates visuals with a ‘discordant passage of time’.
Under Discussion

Under Discussion

2005 • 7 min
The Puerto Rican island of Vieques was used by the US Navy for sixty years, leaving its landscape scarred with bomb-craters and its ecosystem severely contaminated. In 2003, a civil disobedience campaign was successful in forcing the military out, and the land has now been designated as a federal wildlife reserve. But this designation entails its own violence, marginalizing the demands of island residents that it be fully decontaminated and turned over to municipal management. This conflict is the point of departure for Under Discussion. An overturned conference table has been retrofitted with an engine and rubber grafted from a small fishing boat. In liberal thought, the table is a common architectural trope used for symmetrical communication and the non-violent resolution of conflict. Yet it often fails to account for the inequalities that structure spaces of negotiation.
