Dissonance and Disturbance

Dissonance and Disturbance a twoscreen installation brings together Cold Draft 1988 and two films partly shot amid recent protests in LondonThe narration to the largely abstract Cold Draft is a poetic critique of Eighties economics which gains a new potency through being shown alongside Rhodess videocamera shots from within police kettles as protests raged against the causes and effects of the economic crisis She also tells the story of a flour mill in Gaza bombed by the Israeli military Over the years Rhodes has shifted from abstraction to neardocumentary as her anger at governments becomes palpable Her work is all the more compelling because her eloquence with film matches her political convictions Ben Luke
