Oblique description of a space, texture and gesture in light and sound, interaction of the two modes, a play of expectations, a row of traps laid end to end catching very small events. – E.E.
‘Filmed in a London Swimming pool Trapline is a painterly film conveying a state of limbo – the still pool with the light reflecting on the water, the grid of the high glass roof, three figures sitting under the shower, with the torn curtain, voices echoing from the pool walls always slightly out of range, giving one the feeling of being trapped between the unconscious and the conscious’. – Tina Keane ‘Readings’ 1977.
