Video/Film/Painting

An experimental film attempting to isolate a fictional character and her slow and steady decline towards madness. Clips taken from the film Black Narcissus (1947).

A film collage made up of found footage including the 1985 World Snooker Final. The stories overlap and interconnect deliberately informing the way in which we relate to the moving image. Louis uses his own body in the narrative to formulate a structure in which the found images conspire to produce new meanings.

Louis uses the faces of actors who appear on the chat show 'Parkinson'. Alongside the interviews are experts from a talk by the radical psychiatrist R D Laing. The artist uses colours on the screen suggestive of primal human instincts.
