Description:

This short film captures the ever-changing reflections of a bridge over a lake in South Hill Park, Berkshire, which serves as a symbolic link between the physical and its representation. The bridge, with its connection of a public thoroughfare, is mirrored onto the water's surface and then projected through the cinematic apparatus - emulsion, camera, film projection, screen, and finally to the viewer in a cinema. This metaphor extends beyond mere visuals; it connects theory and practice, as exemplified by a still sequence from this bridge being featured on the first page of the inaugural edition of Undercut Magazine. Through this poetic exploration of representation, the film invites viewers to contemplate the essence of cinematic experience and its connection with the world we perceive.
