Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

directed by Paul Bush

year: 2001

Imagine that the camera is possessed with a psychosis similar to human schizophrenia; suppose that this disease subtly changes every single frame of film while leaving the narrative superficially intact.

While Darwin Sleeps

Thousands of insects pass through the film each for a single frame. It seems that the genetic programme of millions of years is taking place in a few minutes. It is like a mescalin vision dreamt by Charles Darwin.

This is a romp through the museums of England and Switzerland in which the objects on display come to life and reveal the stories of their creation. It is a celebration of the chaotic diversity conjured by the human hand and mind, and the eccentricity of museum collections.
