'artefacts from an imagined documentary (proposed): two’ is the second in a suite of short films that begin to map the territory of a new area of investigation for an un-named Researcher.
Following the film work ‘midnight, mid-Atlantic...’ - in which a Researcher investigates an abandoned film project in Iceland - this new area of research is partly framed by the work of the 19th Century moving image pioneer Eadweard Muybridge. Collectively, this new body of work acts as a meta-proposal for a longer-term project that will explore the collision of histories of the factual Muybridge, a fictional film director and the Researcher himself.
'artefacts...:two' was filmed in Surrey, UK.
