On my one hour walk along the Glenelg beach this morning, the old man who has a daily swim and who seems to be always towelling himself off as I pass, greeted me for the first time. I asked him if it was cold in there but he didn’t reply. Maybe he didn’t hear. However, from some distance away, a woman’s voice shouted to me: “Hot in there, cold out here!’. I turned around to see who was speaking: a woman in her late seventies changing back out of her swimming togs, perhaps his wife.
This kind of summarises yesterday for me. Kind of because it’s not really cold out here, but ‘in there’ it looks very warm and getting hotter. ‘In there’ is everybody preparing for their presentations on Sunday, dropping deeper into their projects, getting closer to each boiling spring, the source of the films. So much activity, so much intense conversation around us and with us, so much planning and prepping and even shooting. Stay in there, I want to say to the filmmakers, it’s warming up and will get hot. That’s where you want to be.
Yesterdays’ ‘abject’ sculptures were so individual, so crafted too, each person interpreting the instruction in their individual way. One even made me laugh out loud – that voice is irresistible and I can see it emerging nicely in her film too.
I look forward to dipping more than a toe in all of them on Sunday.
