“Nothing beside remains”. An accelerated shuffle through cinematic ends. The title refers to the poet Shelley’s compressed sonnet on the shattered colossus of Egyptian tyrant Ramesses II. Ozymandias deploys a database of movie cue-dots collected from free digital-TV broadcasts. This ongoing archive of near-redundant time signals provides the artist with an archaeological resource to remember cinema’s outgoing physicality, and a method of enquiry into narrative and perceptual processes. |
