Film made by Carl Brown in 2009.

Synopsis
In this dual-screen work, Brown works and re-works media images through hand-processing, tinting and toning. Richly textured and layered scenes of disaster and destruction, including news footage from 9/11, are relentlessly repeated, forming a lament for humankind’s lack of memory and fading reason. With a sound composition by Dan Browne.

Film notes
'In my latest work “Memory Fade” the images are not lost…they are spectral and the dance steps repeated over and over in time fights the Fade – a falling down that breaks the spine of the book of life (mankind). Nightime stay “Yes”…are there really “better angels of our nature” nasal and distant the sound of the migratory mind search – I need to relearn the route – the electricity has been losing juice – still a third rail running through my brain causing the 400 agitations of Julie…a real separation of colours…time gets rooted and stalls a little bit of grey matter dies – part of the Fade – the over medicated culture of society – the pharma fog contributes to our cyclic emptying of tragic past events and there it goes again before we know it we are in another former deja vu again man versus man versus nature the essence of the organics…the transformative alchemy…I need a tool to dislodge clogged synapses and arteries…perhaps a snake…ecstatics make the engine run dilation of the flesh…maybe it’s true through the emptying of self loss of memory the fade of pain mankinds reason
…bare witness to middle age human kindness through destruction. - Carl E.Brown
