Chikinki ‘Experiment with Mother’ 2001

THIS WAS SHOT ON ANALOGUE VIDEO (HI8) NIGHT VISION THEN I PLAYED IT BACK THROUGH MY TV & PHOTOGRAPHED IT - THIS IS MY FRIEND CLAIRE GRIESON - A SCIENTIST - I'D DONE A WHOLE LOAD OF PHOTOS OF HER DURING HER PREGNANCY EXPERIMENTING WITH DIFFERENT AMBIENT LIGHT SOURCES (FRIDGE/TV/STREET LIGHT/PASSING TRAFFIC HEADLIGHTS) & CLUNKY CHUNKY ANALOGUE VIDEO. WE WOULD TALK ALOT ABOUT THE PARALLELS IN WHAT SHE DID IN SCIENCE WHAT SHE CALLED 'BLUE SKY PROJECTS' - WHERE YOU WERE ABLE TO EXPLORE WITHOUT DEFINITE KNOWLEDGE OF THE OUTCOME & HOW SIMILAR THAT IS TO ART. BRISTOL BASED BAND CHINKINI CHOSE TO USE THIS ON THEIR SLEEVE.
