BURNING WATER CD SOUNDTRACK 1988/89
“Burning Water”, develops new forms of visual expression. In this project which took several years to develop and film we constructed special filter-lenses which enabled us to film through water. We were also inspired by the use of multiple montage techniques employed by Kenneth Anger. Each image in the film is taken from specific occult areas, symbols and images, and we achieved up to quintuple exposures of the film i.e. five montage-levels which is a very difficult process to achieve – we then engaged special computer software to treat the entire edited film and finally achieved our results, which is a film which relates directly to the subconscious levels of the mind, a kinetic Rorschach-test, an exploration of the resurgent atavistic and sentient symbolic systems, used by Austin Osmon Spare, “Burning Water” is an alchemical and technological enquiry into sub-states of being. A meontological visualisation beyond analytical analysis.
