British video artist Ben Rivers shoots on 16 mm film, often black and white, and processed in the kitchen sink, giving the appearance of ageing, archival footage. The artist shoots on an old Bolex wind-up camera, which can only offer a continuous shot of 30 seconds. This arduous process has limitations turned to the artist's advantage to accumulate fragments of situations. During the process the artist collaborates with subjects by offering them props, thus breaking down the conventional rules of documentary film making to capture a more sensory and emotional depiction reminiscent of Scottish filmmaker and poet Margaret Tait and American photographer Ralph Eugene Meatyard. Rivers' films are not primarily documentary or ethnographic in style, despite referring to these genres. Rather, his work is personal and fragmented.
