'Untitled' by Deryck Walker and Ian Wooldridge

By SHOWstudio, 12:00 Tue 19 Aug 2008

Mesmerising and somewhat eerie spinning pinwheels formed a hypnotic backdrop to Deryck Walker’s A/W 2008 show at London Fashion Week, an ongoing collaboration with filmmaker Ian Wooldridge of which our enigmatically ‘Untitled’ Future Tense video piece is further fruit. Building films from the inspirations behind Walker’s collections, Wooldridge works backwards with aesthetic and tone through the development of character and narrative – although in this instance, the results are somewhat more abstract. Drawing on the fifties themes and predominantly monochrome palette of Walker’s collection, Wooldridge juxtaposes grainy footage of the clothes, filters of washed and muted colour and those paper windmills to build an elegaic, brooding and sombre video montage exploring Walker’s compelling and mysterious vision.
