Split screen HD video
Super-8mm film

Duration: 0’54”
Performer: Fiona Menmuir
Location: Suffolk, Wales, London Triptych is a moving image work with a split screen showing three separate images in juxtaposition. In the middle is the vulnerability of a naked young woman who performs trapped frustration. On either side the viewer is either rushing through a verdant English landscape or drifting within the confines of a vast stone stairwell. In the accompanying sound, footsteps doggedly tramp though wet mud. Everything is trapped within contrastingly paced loops of repetition.
