Postmodernism has progressed by recessing into the history it came from, selectively. This meant that Postmodern dramatists could take the rationality of realist drama and combine it with the rejection of standards that the Absurdists embraced in order to customise a dramatic movement in which there was a new sense of freedom, liberation and acceptance.

Worldwide Environmental Exchange I

On Thursday 11th November 2010 I decided to contact people from all over the world and ask them to record a one minute video of their environment.

My plan was to then exchange these videos through the wonder of the internet so that each participating cinematographer would receive a video of a contrasting environment.

More than being about people seeing the videos, it was about each environment 'viewing' another - a concept of transportation, transposition, connection, social networking and technology.

I hope to achieve: clarity of contrast by direct aesthetic and aural juxtaposition
