ideas in transit on docuconcept

A reflection on Modern Britain. Worrying to say the least. Kervin Julien and his colleagues continuing their excellent work with the vulnerable and marginalised of Coventry.

A sound and visual adventure. The events, actions, sights, happenings and sounds that turn and unfold as I wait, look, listen and observe.
Part of the moments that make up a dull day series :)

Images are sound sound is image
a surrealist, synaesthesia, dreamscape. the inner working of my head

The concept of just wasting time and photographing what it is you see. This is the second in this series.

The idea was to shoot the aforementioned but I pulled a muscle in my back leaving me in substantial pain. The administration of some very powerful painkillers given to me by a friend of my daughter dampened the pain somewhat but left me as high as a kite :) This is a visual and audio representation of the feeling. Soundscape recorded at the same time as the photography and the drum rhythm recorded a day or two earlier. Couldn't get it out of my head. Happy days :)

as a man walked up earlsdon street Third in a series of short documentaries about the place that I live. Earlsdon. Earlsdon Street is the main shopping area. In this short film I explore the street and what can happen in a short amount of time. In this particular film, an unknown man walks along the length of the street. Why? I hear you ask to which I reply, why not? A snapshot of a place, time and motion. Music by Kevin Harrison diesel #2 from velvet galaxy / spider mill dnastudio.freeserve.co.uk/​ 

With the growing economic crisis this sort of site may become more prolific in towns and cities across the world. I know this is not a new problem, but it is something we probably all notice everyday. Kervin is a reformed drug addict dealer. He now works for the salvation army and helps at his local church North Point in Bell Green Coventry. Part of this is to run a soup kitchen just outside the centre of Coventry. Once a week, homeless, money less, the lonely, drug and drink dependent individuals arrive to receive a hot drink and food, words of wisdom and company. In this short video I have started to explore this problem and the work of Kervin and his team and the people they represent.
