'Flightpath Tegel' - Music by John Foxx. Film by Ian Emes (DNA EXHIBITION 2009)
'In my youth I lived in the shadow of Britains largest motorway intersection, Spaghetti Junction. It was a thing of beauty, mystery and dreams.
It was inevitable that years later, John Foxxs music would have a profound effect on me. His songs were machine poems to the modern world. He captured a mood that I understood.
It turned out that we were both admirers of the great writer JG Ballard, in particular his novel Concrete Island. Ballard commuted every day to his office along Westway, travelling around a certain traffic island to Shepherds Bush. Below that island lay a tantalising world, once deserted, then inhabited by gypsies, now filled with storage units. I believe this could have been the Concrete Island of Ballards imagination. Curiously, I spied glimpses of this island in Johns video of Underpass.

Flightpath Tegel is an experiment, a work in progress, an interpretation of Johns music and homage to Ballards Concrete Island.'
