Without You

Tal Rosner’s abstract, experimental five minute piece is a collection of images originating from buildings and surfaces taken in such Greater London locations, such as West Croydon and Barking. It has no plot, dialogue or characters, yet is completely entrancing for its entire duration.

The images that flicker past our eyes in a series of fast edits are frequently abstracted, overlapped or somehow fused together. He gets beauty and intrigue out of the most industrial landscapes. The result is occasionally like a colourful Mondrian painting, where we are encouraged to find the relationship between the colours and lines.

It is probably something better suited to a computer screen rather than as a festival piece, and also as something that could appear in a modern art gallery, than something that would make its way on to a short film DVD compilation. Watching it in the dark may cause your eyes to bleed, but then perhaps this is part of the point.
