Between the Land and the Sea: rebuilding Margate’s lido

Between the Land and the Sea: rebuilding Margate’s lido takes the form of a three-channel video installation about the lived tactile history of Margate’s Lido. In making ‘Between the Land and the Sea…’ I was interested in bridging the space between the film watcher and the screen on which the film is made visible through the colour, texture, movement, and sound of the film projection itself. In the making of the film I have therefore been looking at how film exists in the space between body (who is observer) and structure (that makes it observable). I have been asking if film lives in-between these. In exploring how the story/experience of film manifests in the space between screen and eye, film can become a work of art communicating the felt rather than documentation of it.
