The selected programe of films presents the radical forms of an improvisatory world and captures reality from the constraints of tradition, myth, politics, technology and fantasy and the collective exposure to the intricacy of love affairs, sacrifices and erotic experiences. |

| John Askew / Three Sisters 4’15" 2009 |
 |
"My first camera was a 21st birthday present from my father. A Pentax MX. I recall making some photographs of some steep steps in Newcastle. At home I made a picture of a floral patterned waste bin in a flowerbed. There was also one of my mum and dad in bed on Christmas morning. It didn't come out right as light got into the back of the camera and distorted the colors. That fascinated me. My father was wearing red paisley pyjamas and my mother a light blue dressing gown. My dad was half in and half out the light."
