A Relational Video Grammar: Orange Obverse

A Relational Video Grammar is a series of experimental videos that study the production of speech in artists' direct address to camera. For each of the videos within this series the subject was left alone and invited to talk directly to the camera for 30 minutes, the video material was then edited to examine the relationships between the subject, the generation of speech and the editor/editing process. In 'A Relational Video Grammar: Orange Obverse' (2012, 06:41 Mins.), the speech generated by the subject challenged the artist to locate memories and circumstantial examples of the colour ‘orange’. The resulting video explores a deliberate separation of identities between the subject of the video and the artist/editor. The video features James Graham-Campbell.
