Richard Bevan’s work
deals with the tension between film as a medium and light as its agent. In
his films this tension varies from the equilibrium of good light conditions
and a correct exposure, to the turbulence of near darkness followed by the
whiteout of the end of a spool, or the light drone of an over-exposed summer’s day. Moving images on film require a light source at
two definite moments: firstly in the capturing of the image onto the film,
and secondly in their release onto the screen. Both these moments hold equal
significance to Bevan, and he utilizes each as a
tool to extend or define the work. 'Original text from the
