Helen (Film London Jarman Awards 2008)

Luke Fowler uses fast cutting, multiple exposures and disjunctive camera movements to portray a living space.

As the winning artist of the 2008 Film London Jarman Award, Luke Fowler was commissioned to produce four short films for 3 Minute Wonder, Channel 4's shorts strand. Known collectively as The Tenement Films, they are a series of portraits of four diverse individuals brought together through a shared residence - a flat in a Victorian tenement in the West End of Glasgow. Set in a distinctively decorated gold room, the film examines self-portraiture and uses fast cutting, multiple exposures and disjunctive camera movements. Part of the Derek Jarman Awards collection.
