Transplant
No full textTransplant is a large-scale photographic sound installation. Photographer Tim Wainwright and sound artist John Wynne have produced this thought-provoking and unique work after spending a year as artists-in-residence at Harefield Hospital, one of the world’s leading centres for heart and lung transplantation. Funded by Arts Council England and working with rb&hArts, they photographed and recorded patients, the devices they were attached to or had implanted in them, and the hospital itself.
Transplant is also a book, edited by Victoria Hume, comprising a collection of essays with a wide range of perspectives on the Transplant project and the wider issues it raises. It includes a 35-minute DVD by John Wynne and Tim Wainwright.
A related output is Hearts, Lungs and Minds, a half-hour composed documentary, commissioned for BBC Radio 3. More information is available at: http://www.sensitivebrigade.com and /Hearts,Lungs&Minds.htm http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/709/
Transplant (excerpt)
No full textBook chapter and 22-minute excerpt from the video Transplant, first published in the book, Transplant, edited by Victoria Hume.
This video makes use of photographs and audio recordings collected by John Wynne and Tim Wainwright during their year as artists-in-residence at Harefield Hospital, one of the world’s leading centres for heart and lung transplantation. Moving back and forth between documentation and an abstraction, the video piece provides a unique insight into the intense and fascinating experience undergone by the most vulnerable of patients.
Through all the differences and similarities of sound and vision, seeing and hearing, looking and listening, a rapprochement emerges in the collaboration between Wainwright and Wynne. Meaning arises out of fades and overlaps, sudden appearances and vanishings, fusing and disparity. Distinctions of the senses are less important than their indivisibility. Are we seeing or hearing, and how much of either perception is a consequence of the other? (David Toop
Futureland Now - Reflections on the post-industrial landscape

Futureland Now explores the current economic uncertainty characteristic of the North East of England
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
