About
This enigmatic short film, Nineteen thirty-six, speaks of history ' of art, architecture and gender politics.The visual components on the screen incorporate a variety of media: text, digital video, 35mm black and white photographs and digital reproductions of five paintings.
Women ' Jessica Dismorr, Helen Saunders and Dorothy Shakespeare ' who were associated with British Vorticism, an international art movement active in the early years of the twentieth century, painted all the reproduced art works. The video footage was shot at Crystal Palace Park, the photographs document the interior of Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath and the text written by the artist.
