Tim Burroughs
the re-workings of memory/cinematography
1.
shadows in a sea of forgetting
fading photos in film that no one sees
2.
a book covered in dust
in a library threatened with closure
3.
a disappearing face in a portrait painting with cracked features and fading colours
4.
a string quartet that plays
whilst the music scores are blown away
5.
snippets of conversation
echoing in a square that was blitzed
6.
sentences that curl back across a page
reeling in their meaning
stuttering into silence
7.
an actor on stage
mute and static
in a play without lines
in a burn out of celluloid
on the cutting room floor
8.
a flash that freezes a space
inside a pin camera
the eye at in the viewfinder is you
but who are you and why you are there?
