My Walk Home Thru Chinatown, San Francisco |
|
| This video works primarily as an art documentary piece, filmed by published San Francisco poet Marie Kazalia of her walk home through Chinatown, San Francisco one Wednesday evening.
Filmed using a small handheld camera, the piece is very atmospheric, simply using sound recorded at the time (car horns, traffic, wind, talking) to place the viewer on the streets of San Francisco. The camera framing is often jerky, adding to the feeling of walking along the streets. A partricular highlight is the artist taking a detour into a supermarket to buy a chocolate bar.
The piece often pauses to focus on features such as interesting architecture, neon signs, shop windows, people in restaurants and captures snatches of converstation of passers by. The artist occasionally commentates from behind the camera but is frequently hard to hear due to atmospheric sounds.
There are pieces of the artists's writing and poetry included as text included over the top of the video, adding to the documentary reality and diarist aspects of the piece, as she states it is the work written that day, perhaps about the day's experiences.
Please note there are a few instances of strong language as barely audible snatches of conversation, and included as text as part of the writing but are inoffensive within the artistic context of the work, although perhaps not suitable for children.
This video programme lasts 61 minutes and 49 seconds. |
