The Marey Project 2005

Directed by James Clayden

A mysterious mix of loss and longing that investigates a man's imaginings, taking him to the edge of the abyss before he discovers what it is he needs most. Experimenting with a host of strange phenomena including phantoms from his past and present, Walter Hey confronts a power that could hold the key to his deepest dreams... or darkest nightmares. THE MAREY PROJECT is a challenging new work inspired by the photographic and chrono-photographic experiments of the 19th century French physiologist E. J. Marey. It is an eerie work, with intriguing whispers, reminiscent of Chris Marker’s ‘La Jetee’ (1962) in its clash of science with humanity.
