5 MINUTES

The film 5 Minutes queries whereabouts and locality within cities by focusing on the abstracted orange dots, dashes and signs that appear on the computer generated bus timetables in Essex Road, North London, found at most bus-stops. Signals and signs in this short film are interpreted as repeated frequencies and unintelligible blips, numbers and letters that jumble any rational logic or coordination of our bearings. Passers by and commuters are fleetingly caught on film as we all are much of the time by street surveillance cameras.
