Description

"Bumper was filmed at the time of our first pregnancy in late 2001/early 2002. At the time we were also making small objects from melted plastic beads in our kitchen. In Bumper we use these objects as accessories and low-tech special effects. The video shows our early interest in futuristic images of the human body’s intertwined relationship with natural and technological systems alongside craft and crude DIY aesthetics. Unintended at the time, but recently discovered and newly appreciated, is the audio track, capturing the domestic atmosphere of the time, including background radio and a brief conversation on a telephone." — LoVid
