Between the Land and the Sea: rebuilding Margate’s lido takes the form of a three-channel video installation about the lived tactile history of Margate’s Lido. In making ‘Between the Land and the Sea…’ I was interested in creating for the nuanced, palpable space between the film watcher and the screen on which the film is made visible. This includes how we experience film through the somatics of colour, texture, movement, and sound of the digital projection itself. In the making of the film I have therefore been looking at how film exists in the space between body (who is observer) and structure (that makes it observable). I have been asking if film lives in-between these in the digital stream. In exploring how the story/experience of film manifests in the space between screen and eye, film can become a work of art communicating the felt rather than documenting of it.
