Video 2 mins 16 secs with sound, from 8mm film, 1970

In 1970 I painted a room and every object in it black
I held a séance with some friends to share light with the dark
We ‘channelled’ vocals and other sounds
The film itself, inhabited a dingy drawer ever since and so has gone through its own 50 year ‘séance.’
