Clip description

Marnie (Carmen Glynn-Braun) is on a swing. She trains the camera towards the brick wall. The wall looms large, and then retreats as Marnie swings to-and-fro.

Curator’s notes

The beauty of this film is that the visuals are simple without being tedious. Cole has managed to evoke a sense of place through the viewfinder of the main character’s own camera, expressed through the rhythm of the piece.
