Skip 14
“I was a bit skint, needed a place to exhibit, needed materials and an audience. This is everything in one. I empty it all out, break it all down, clean it up and put it all back in again. The piece of work was the skip sculpture, but it became so much more. I’d say the work became about the gathering of people.” Artist Kevin Harman explaining the origin of the Skip sculpture Series.
The film observes the construction of the scultpure 'Skip 14' by the groundbreaking Scottish artist Kevin Harman, as he removes all the contents from a skip full of rubbish and reconfigures them into a unique work of art. The documentary was filmed over 48 consecutive hours and is set in Cologne, Germany.
The film is a beautiful and positive reaction to the difficulties both artists and filmmakers face when chasing their ambitions. This is street art and guerrilla filmmaking at it's very best; cheeky, humourous, heart warming and most of all inspiring.
A film by Christopher L Cook.
