The Inspiration
And if your stresses are sustained and daily,
get yourself to an empty room – be it hotel,
hostel or hovel – find a lamp
and empty your paradise onto a desk:
your white sands, green hills and fresh fish.
Shine the lamp on it like the fresh hope
of morning, and keep staring at it till you sleep.
Extract from the poem ‘A Portable Paradise‘ by Roger Robinson
The Common Thread
A blank piece of paper… An idea. A note. A drawing. A letter. An aeroplane. A boat. A star. A hat. A story. A script.
We take one of the basic tools of analogue communication, a blank piece of paper, and transform it into a narrative tool for digital communication via an audiovisual Exquisite Corpse that transports us from home to home. Una Casa Exquisita.
Created by
Female visual artists and filmmakers between 35 to 50 years old, from Mexico, New Zealand, Sweden and Scotland who live in urban centres and rural areas and who work with the audiovisual medium in different roles from directing, editing and animation to cinematography and video art.
