"virtually here"

Paul Bush
The Rumour Of True Things
25 min 1996 UK

An 'accidental' portrait of a society constructed entirely from its moving picture ephemera. The Rumour Of True Things is an unnerving composite of found images and sound. Video and its technology form the work's content. However, Bush's urgent concerns are clearly with the personal and how it is represented by the body.

In The Rites Of Reclamation, we trespass into a mind made of rooms.
Multi-sensory virtual reality is represented as a haunted and unstable psychic void. A dreamer leaves her body and communicates with biological robots and other lost souls.
The work combines haunting imagery of thermally imaged humans and computer generated virtual reality fly-through in the form of spectral architectures with hypnotic sound compositions.

UK, 1997, 7 mins

Computer animation symbolically exploring what is allowed to cross the division between the outside and the inside of the body and how that informs our notion of self and identity. Metaphors of space, location, geography and mapping are used to refer to the mapping and policing of desire.

LMX Spiral
UK, 1998, 8 min

LMX Spiral combines live action with computer animation to create a allegorical, intellectual pop video about Britain’s transition from the enterprise culture of the eighties to the lottery culture of the nineties. It follows the fortunes of a naive young yuppie as he struggles to join the successes of the eighties brat pack. Through a series of scenes reminiscient of soap operas, music videos and life style adverts, it traces a path from the aspirational eighties to the disillusionment and unpredictability of the boom and burst years.
