Dark is the Night: Jordan Baseman

Posted by Greta in Exhibitions - 11 May 2009



Filmed around the Soho area, and narrated by some of its local residents, these films were a little difficult to watch, but mesmerizing none the less. Using fast camera action on the neon lights of Londons late night sex-strip, the films would cut to black whenever the narrator stopped speaking, as though the visuals were physically connected to his voice. Awesome effect. Favourite quote “My body is just a pedestal for my head, I like my head” – Sebastian Horsley, The Dandy Doctrine. On at the Photographers Gallery, Ramillies St, Soho.
