Folly & Diction (2020)
14 Feb 2020 • Short, Music • 0h 15m
A music video about John Joly, inventor of the Joly screen colour photography process, narrativised via elements of a story by Samuel Beckett and a poem by Jean Genet; sung by The Late David Turpin and Jrdn (Xona) with music composed by James Kelly and Ian McInerney; performed by father and son Peter and Luke. The piece is structured like a music video, yet based on literary sources, with Joly singing a story of unrequited history, of a forgotten moment in the invention of colour photography, poetically recanting loss an abandonment as a way of telling this story.
