Nocturne is a five-minute film shot entirely at night in the shadowy deserted streets of London’s East End and Docklands. In this echoic city past haunts present, animating concealed histories. Composed of long static viewpoints, each shot slowly unfolds in time, suggesting that as if by looking long enough alone its secrets will be revealed. The use of long exposure and timelapse on 16mm film results in a magnitude of colour and time: the drab and empty streets are transformed as they appear in hyper-real colour, devoid of traffic and human activity.
