Coutts, Nicky, 2009, Art or design object, Passing Place
Abstract or Description: | Conceived and directed by Coutts while on a year-long VARC (Visual Arts in Rural Communities) residency in 2008/9, Passing Place re-enacts scenes from six films where the site of a crossroads is featured. Including re-enactments from films such as Pasolini’s Oedipus Rex (1967), Jarmusch’s Down By Law (1986) and Zemeckis’s Castaway (2000), filming was set entirely at a crossroads in rural Northumberland with a cast including local farmers, lawyers and grave diggers. Through a prescribed setting, the film uses fact and fiction, memory and site, to set the potential – if fleeting – for truth to emerge. |
