Breaking Up - Mark Dixon
Our friend Mark Dixon is currently showing his study of the demolition of Cranfield’s Mill on Ipswich Docks, Breaking Up, at the Focal Point Gallery in Southend.
Mark used cameras mounted inside the building to capture events. “The resulting footage was often very raw, and during the process of recording, fifteen wireless cameras (small spy cameras), which were wired up inside the destruction scene – together with seven VHS cameras and one DVD camera – were completely wrecked by falling masonry, joists, rivets, cables and water used to damp down dust. ...each camera or machine systematically documents its own destruction.“
The exhibit is on now, until 3rd January 2009.
