Fish and crustaceans appear to swim within an ether of natural and unnatural energies. Music by Jefre Cantu-Ledesma.
Caridea and Ichthyes is one of a series of short film studies, commissioned by the San Francisco Exploratorium, studying aspects of insect , animal life, viewed within a succession of environments in unexpected ways. Filmed in the Golden Gate Park Botanical Gardens, Academy of Arts & Sciences and San Francisco.
Paul Clipson works primarily in film, video and on paper, collaborating on films, live performances and installations with sound artists and musicians, projecting largely improvised in-camera edited experimental films employing multiple exposures, dissolves and macro imagery that bring to light subconscious preoccupations and unexpected visual forms.
