'Columbo in KANE's Revolutions', 2010, Digital Video, 30mins.

KANE's Revolutions sees Columbo hunt for the gangster criminal KANE in the streets of South London. Using random pages of comic books found in a fleamarket in Shanghai, a narrative is superimposed onto a real site of urban regeneration. In the film, a digital video collage that considers cut-up techniques and stream of consciousness modes, KANE invents a drug called REGENERATION. A film-reference-cast of characters occupy this floating digital world, from detectives to replicants, corrupt cops and town mayors. It is about the condition of The Digital - and explores a multitude of media, effects and formats to stitch together the idea of a contemporary place that is made from historical- and future fantasy projections.

"The film plays on our underlying suspicions of modernist architecture, politics and the dreaded “regeneration”. Icons such as the glistening silver box in the middle of Elephant & Castle roundabout are evoked as sinister and disturbing settings with great effect... this piece is an example of psycho-geography; an attempt to map the effect of built environments on the emotions and behavior of individuals whether consciously organized or not..."
