Three films; After Orta<\/em>, Cunei Form<\/em> and Lean To<\/em>, were screened under Jyll Bradley\u2019s Pardes<\/em><\/a> installation. Each film was set in a different phase of the building’s redevelopment – before, during and after construction (and coincidentally the pandemic). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The midway work – Cunei Form – most caught our imagination. Sitting in the now finished space under the Pardes<\/em> beams, watching the screen show the marks, gashes and tears of the building’s fabric while words and movement took us back in time 4000 years to the beginnings of poetry<\/a> and the first author – a priestess called Enheduanna.<\/a> Paterson afterwards discussed how cunei form’s impressed marks<\/a> were to be read under a raking light so the shadows cast formed part of the script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
