'Peckham High Street, South East London'

Bottom to top panning shots of line markings from a football pitch viewed alongside panning shots of streets and alley ways that lead into Peckham High Street. The film highlights two different senses of space whilst retaining the link that is movement and direction. The sound is a recording by Binaural Boy of various types of djembe (drum) hits.

Beautiful sense of timing, elegant, puts me in a meditative/contemplative state of mind. However (sorry - but this bothers me) the right image is always a football pitch, while the left one alternates between various city scenes) I have no complaints formally in terms of the way this visually makes up the piece - I love the structure and aesthetic, but symbolically, the playing field seems to overwhelm.

Thanks for the comment, and thanks especially for the point you made about the symbolism associated with the playing field. When I shot the film I tried to complement the enclosed shots of the street scenes with the line markings of the football pitch and was not considering the symbolism of each. Nice observation.

Thanks
