__A+X+M__ (2010)

//And now you are here again. 
No, this isn't the right ending.
I'd like you to begin. 
It's the one who starts who wins.//

__A + X + M__ was filmed and subsequently installed in the print-workshop at Wimbledon College of Art. An unseen narrator, also the print-technician, recalls standing on the rooftop of a building, witness to the coming of an event of epic proportion. In another scene, a conversation next to a photo-exposure unit is remembered. In yet another, a game or many games, are played. There are always three winners. The script of the film was produced in parallel to a chemical process developing photo-etch plates - details of video stills taken from Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet's film collaboration__ Last Year at Marienbad__ (1961). Light entering through interior and exterior windows in the workshop was filtered through UV-stop amber gels, and the film was projected on a loop in a room behind the etch-baths.
