*For the present exhibition at t1+2 Artspace the novelist, filmmaker,
critic, musician and performance artist Stewart Home has brought
together the results of his own researches into his mother's mysterious
death in 1979 with the work of the photographer and video artist Chris
Dorley-Brown. *
*'The running story in the /Kensington News/ at the end of 1979',
reports Home, 'was the hunt for a school boy. However what most
interests me in the7 December 1979edition is a tiny paragraph tucked at
the bottom of an inside page. Under the heading ëFound Deadí are these
words: 'Julia Callan-Thompson was found dead in her basement flat
inCambridgeGardenson Sunday December 2. Police say there were no
suspicious circumstances.' There was no follow-on reporting in
subsequent editions of the newspaper.' Home's interest in this item is
that Julia Callan-Thompson was his mother, a woman who had had a 'long
involvement with bohemianism and the drug subculture' - 'her biography
is also closely bound up with many of the things that continue to
fascinate all of us about the swinging sixties. My mother had an action
packed and sometimes troubled life. She was thirty-five when she
died...in the back basement flat at 104CambridgeGardenson2 December 1979.'*
*Employing similar poses to those found in would-be promotional
photographs of Home's mother taken by Carla Hopkins in 1966,
Dorley-Brown has photographed Home himself, merging together the two
sets of images so as to produce a series of composite portraits of Julia
aged 22 and her son Stewart aged 42.*
*A further contribution to the examination of Julia's death takes the
form of Home's film /The Eclipse and Re-Emergence of the Oedipus
Complex/. This is an intensely personal work which brings together
Home's cultural theory and his own family history. Avant-garde
techniques and the avant-garde obsession with death are interwoven with
the life and death of Home's mother. Images of Julia working as a
fashion model and club hostess are cut against an at times deliberately
disassociated soundtrack that uses stories about her (including her
involvement with beatnik and hippie countercultures, heroin addiction
and Julia's quest for spiritual enlightenment, and especially her
mysterious death in 1979), in an exploration of the limits of
documentary film and of how the avant-garde is both an _expression of
love and of loss. The film also implicitly comments upon how key aspects
of radical Lettrist cinema of the early 1950s were commercialised in the
late works of French filmmakers such as Chris Marker, Jean-Luc Godard
and Alain Resnais. *
*Accompanying these maternally-transfixed depictions is Dorley-Brown's
/sixtysix-ninetynine/, a companion piece to Michelangelo Antonioni's
seminal 1966 film, /Blow Up/. Widely regarded as a microcosmic depiction
of "swinging" London, the original film, documenting 24 hours in the
life of London's hippest fashion photographer (played by David Hemmings)
here acts as a foil to Dorley-Brown's remake of this modern classic.
Dorley-Brown's latter-day reconstruction involved him in filming at the
exact London locations used in the original, employing no actors but
reconstructing, shot by shot, /Blow Up's/ complex and notorious park
sequence. Devoid of dialogue, /sixtysix-ninetynine/ employs the
soundtrack of Antonioni's film, without edits and in real time. In
ghosting this important, strangely loaded work Dorley-Brown attempts to
unearth what has happened to the mythologised landscape of
sixtiesLondonduring the 33 years since /Blow Up/ was made. *
