The new bridging works between the Uber 1 & 2 and Gothic memoria series is now called Uber memoria proto re-addressing German Romantic seascape paintings in context to memory and place. Filming occured yesturday in coastal areas of Melbourne (Black Rock, Brighton Beach foreshore and surrounding area) where the scuttled 19th century battleship 'Cerberus' is located. Also note the bushfire smoke coming from Eastern Victoria and over Melbourne on the starred picture credit. More stills will be posted as editing continues...

Sneak Look at Gothic Memoria

Shaun Wilson, Gothic memoria [1]: 2% Berlin (2006-07), 3GP as single channel DVD, black and white, sound, 52 mins.

This is the first released still from the initial Gothic memoria series 1 works titled 2% Berlin, recently filmed in November 2006 at the Berlin Wall and the 'Topography of Terror' site. The film speed is slowed down to 2%, hence the title. The audio score features a composed piano quartet (performed by me) taken from the larger Memoria Sonic series (or "M-Sonic" for short) written especially for the Gothic memoria videoworks (approx. 1000).

The M-Sonic tracks were recorded in December 2006 and January 2007 and will be released as a double CD in November 2007.

Screening of 2% Berlin and related works will be in late 2007/early 2008.
