In Earnest

1978, 14 minutes, ¾” U-Matic master
Music by Simon Desorgher and Earnest Burke



This was my first video just to use the human form, and was a three-way collaboration between myself, Simon Desorgher and the dancer Earnest Burke.

It was performed and recorded in the space of a few hours at the studio at The London College of Printing where I was a visiting lecture at that time.

It is an unusual piece because of its incorporation of another element as its focus and raison d’etre.
