Everything passes, Jeanie’s films are – among other things – meditations on the transitory nature of the present. Her camera observes what is, now, without judgement, valuing it for itself, while accepting that it will never be there again. Implicit, in the act of recording, is the knowledge that the recording itself will change – both its meaning over time and its eventual physical disintegration.
The first and last records I bought:
First: Two Little Boys by Rolf Harris
Last: A 45 by Billy Bragg called ‘Johnny Clash’.
