Panorama
Part of Between Heaven And EarthWithdrawal
George Barber
(GB, 1996, video, 5:00)
The members of a family walks towards the camera under a sunny sky in this digitally manipulated home movie. The sequence is continually repeated but each time the number of people diminishes and the landscape slowly becomes more sombre. The soundtrack, which consists of environmental sounds and statements about the pproblems encountered with family life and future expectations is also continually repeated. The characters and sthe statements become more and more isolated in increasingly more desolate surroundings.
