shifting patterns
Shifting Patterns from taradara on Vimeo.
In August i went to the Arctic and travelled for two weeks on a Russian ice breaker.. the experiences, sights and sounds are hard to put into words so I made this short film to give a feeling of what we saw, heard and flew over...
Special thanks to the following people-

This is for the Ghosts
I found out too late that the Tate modern were showing Vivienne Dick's films over the weekend.. and that on Friday night there would be a performance by Lydia Lunch and a Q+A by one of my all time photographic heroes, Nan Goldin.. it was completely sold out. I decided to go down anyway and by a huge stroke of luck (thanks Gil!) managed to get in at the 11th hour. It was an incredible evening which started with Lydia's performance before the screening which silenced the packed auditorium with awe. The films and music were disarming, tense, threatening, beautiful and haunting. The power of the images, colours and sounds have stayed with me over the last few days. The rollercoaster scene in She Had Her Gun All Ready is an unbelievable cinematic moment.. I would love to post it here but cannot find any clips on youtube. So instead I will sign off with this song by The Marvellettes, which plays in the most sublime and tender dancing scene in Beauty Becomes The Beast.. filmed in Nan Goldin's loft on the Lower East Side.

My new home for the next two weeks
all aboard the Russian ice breaker Kapitan Khlebnikov
cabin 710
we have no phones and no internet access
i hand over my passport and receive a coded russian email address
this ship has an ice knife, an ice skirt, an armoured steel hull, a cast steel prow
it was built in the 80's to keep the north west passage clear and then handed over as an expedition ship when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991
this will be it's last ever journey to Tanqueray Fjord as the Russians want her back
