The video You Went Back Again and Again addresses the space of mourning and does this by looking at the registers of memory. The camera traverses with me to spaces that repeatedly explode with images I want to erase. A video installation, the work, is an assemblage of images, text, sounds. Set within the overall narrative of a car journey to my father's grave and back, the work seeks to document the two years after his passing. Believing strongly in a certain image of grieving this sets out for me and the viewer an alternative. Conversations traverse from the incredulous to deep feelings of guilt, images from journeys explore the space of being nowhere and the self writes itself in words that cannot be strung together. Bodies don't exist in these spaces whole, neither of those who have passed nor of those who live to tell to mourn. It testifies to what is left, the images, the knowing, the ifs and the buts.
