| John Smith, 'Associations', 1975. 7 mins, colour & Sound, 16mm. Screen shot. |
I saw John Smith's Associations an evening at Camberwell Space during the 2nd week of the Into the Fold exhibition, organised by the Camberwell Press. I was shocked -it was that good!
''... Images from magazines and colour supplements accompany a spoken text taken from ‘Word Associations and Linguistic Theory’ by Herbert H Clark. By using the ambiguities inherent in the English language, Associations sets language against itself. Image and word work together/against each other to destroy/create meaning.''
I have included it into my research because its concept is inspired by Psychoanalysis, stream of consciousness writing as well as free writing in order to build an amazing 'narrative'.
