I am busy posting some of the fragments of videos that I've been shooting in the last week. You can access them on Vimeo under the name 'Meghan SummerDancing'.

Here's a link to the first one: http://www.vimeo.com/12550430 There will be others and I think they can be seen by clicking on 'See all'. Enjoy!

I've been walking around in circles in Coventry and Kenilworth, occasionally shooting video, wondering about the place and thinking about the Richard Long photographs that I saw recently.

I would like to post some of short videos I've taken on this blog but might have to post somewhere else and link to here.

While walking with the video camera I am trying to create a balance between absorbing the place with all of my body and senses, not just the lens. This leaves my camera work a bit messy and haphazard but I like this. The situation of filming while walking and enjoying the place dominates what is being recorded. For example, I was filming from underneath a tree up into the branches and had the desire to spin and watch the leaves revolve so I did. Other bits of video follow the rhythm of me walking or the rise and fall of my breath as I lie on a bench and stare up at the clouds.

In one place I wanted to move rather than shoot video. It was a sort of pedestrian underpass in Kenilworth that leads into a large park. The underpass is a beautiful structure with amazing high pitched echoes but the dark and wet keep people scurrying through. I sat on the edge for a while and watched people being unsure of my odd choice to remain. I wanted to create an even odder situation: lie down where the arch meets the ground and have only my feet stick out into the park.
