Subject:architecture, bridge, suicide, Bristol
Technique:video
Description:
‘Keith Stutter's short video “Various Degrees” is a deadpan video shot in a style that breaks every rule of documentary. We see no evidence whatsoever that the events described will or have ever happened. The camera roams around in desultory fashion and the speaker is not identified. The moral would be hard to summarise: that we are responsible for each other, perhaps, or that God is alive and well and living in a hut at the top of Clifton Suspension Bridge.’
