We remembered tomorrow and were glad to have left when we did.

"Escape" is a semi serious look into the future with a retro feel harking back to 1960's sci-fi.

A comment on the possible extreme effects of global warming and flooded cities way into the future past.

"It's like you found a futuristically vintage dream recorder and pressed record." Steve Buick www.stevebuick.com

UP DOWN AND AROUND

A series of eccentric, deceptive and almost surreal journeys up and down the hills of San Francisco and over the Golden Gate.

On these exotic voyages we travel in an abstract and illusory mirrored world which turns reality, quite literally, on it’s head, and motivates us to view it in a completely different way.

We journey up Fillmore, but after turning into California, this bizarre world grinds to a halt and the whole process is reversed at great speed. And it is after this point, during the rewind, that second-long stills are imposed upon the viewer.

A microsecond of suspended time, a frozen frame interrupting the furious flow of audio and visual.

These fleeting images are there to encourage the viewer to reflect on the actual passage of time and the world we live in - to enrich a sense of time and place and to enhance passing moments.
