 Hi there, so yes I am a documentary filmmaker and I have a tendency to look for the micro-moments in life and stare outside the frame of reality which often yields unexpected results. In 2008, while walking through the abandoned house linking my block of flats to the parking lot, I discovered a room filled from floor to ceiling with discarded bootleg videotapes. More reminiscent of a wasteland than an archive with titles like Supergirl, BMX Bandits mixed in with Greek pornography, nevertheless I realized I couldn't leave it alone. So I started using the materials in some of my art projects and they were exhibited in gallery spaces. One night during an opening, my uncle who was a chemical engineer approached me and he whispered in my ear, I hope you're not planning on throwing these out because you could recycle them and in the process generate alternative fuel. Here we are. The materials have been moved to a recycling facility and part of the collection is actually going to be put into the burner, much in the same way as a coal fees a locomotive to act as fuel for the facility. And those plastic tapes that are left over will then be put into a shredder, broken down, then into an extruder which heats and compresses them and then broken down into macaroni sized plastic pellets. You can form the plastic pellets into pretty much anything, plastic bags, plastic shoes, plastic chairs, anything really. But for my purposes, I'll be turning them into concrete. They'll be mixed in with cement to strengthen and insulate the material. Hitchcock says in narrative film the director is God. In documentary, God is the director. And in this process I'm very much applying my method of storytelling, of filmmaking by allowing outside voices and sources to direct the narrative. By reclaiming this otherwise obsolete material for future more beneficial use, ultimately my aim is to raise awareness about over production and consumption and at the very least to contribute to the ideas that float, flow and occasionally make waves. Thank you.
