NEON RENDEZVOUS LONDON

NEON PROJECT PROPOSAL:

‘Neon Rendezvous London’ is an attempt to glean a personal poetic interpretation of the obscured luminescent poem omnipresent across the capitals plethora of neon signs.

‘Neon Rendezvous London’ is a combination of selected signs drawn from the ‘Neon Word Archive’ (Signs, words and shapes found across the cities topography committed to S8mm celluloid) then reconfigured to generate a poem reflecting the capital and one’s existence or experience within it.

The intent of the video piece is to share an alternative view of the capitals neon signs and offer the audience a chance to engage with neon wordplay or the poetry inherent within it.

This version of the video poem consists of 431 neon signs collect on celluloid in the city of London between 2007 – 2010.
