Monolog is a darkly humourous portrait of a sales representative, just returned from a disastrous business trip in the far East. Walking the streets at night his alienated view of the world is presented as a disembodied voice with a shadow gliding over the pavements. The subjective point of view 'objectifies' his ideas and emotions via the urban enviroment, using them as catalysts for quixotic trains of thought and metaphor. https://www.luxonline.org.uk/artists/ian_bourn/monolog.html
Glazier (voice)
Experimental documentary that presents a discussion of the manufacture of glass as a way to explore memory and transformation. Filled with Smith’s signature witty wordplay and elegant visual punning, Slow Glass also quietly ponders weightier issues of urban transformation and the value placed on craftsmanship.

She is in the garden, soaking up the sun. A cup of tea is called for. Ian Bourn and the late Helen Chadwick play the two lead roles.
