A.M.O.R. Paris (2006)
Film Maker/ performer
29 mins
This video is part of a series of 5 shown as part of an installation which updated weekly as I travelled to cities in which I often find myself walking alone at night (Birmingham, Liverpool, Leicester, Nottingham, Paris). The work was comissioned by A.A.S. (aasgroup.net) as part of a touring exhibition. The installation area replicated a dark alley which the audience would enter to view the work on an old TV set at the end of the ‘alley’.
A.M.O.R. Installation Plan
Floor plan of gallery installation. The A.M.O.R. videos were shown on the TV. The DVDs from each city where rotated sporadically or when I send a new one I have made on my travels.
