Overview

Panopticon Letter's Missive I, is a single screen work that explores ideas of memory, techniques of the body and colonialism, within the tradition of landscape painting. In the film, footage of the river Thames in London is altered to bring about a false relationship between sky and water. This is set against the technical descriptions of the architectural plans for an ideal prison as read from 'The Panopticon Letters' of Jeremy Bentham (1748‐1832), who had first identified the Millbank site for the construction of his Panopticon. The darkness of the severed horizon‐line allows different modes of address to emerge within a correspondence of letters, reformulating a multitude of narratives of time and place.
