Little Jewel Cinema sapphire Season 19 may - 8 august 2007

Trailer Truths I is the first installment of a trilogy of short films made up of text taken from movie trailers. Words and phrases are collaged together to create a darkly humorous text about war, evil and propaganda.
The work playfully addresses the representation of power and language in the media, and the role of belief in the popular consciousness.

Erica Scourti’s work explores language as object and communication by sampling and remixing text from everyday sources to create ‘poems’ which address the original material in some way. She works with video, digital processes and drawing and has kept an on-off drawing diary of inanimate objects since 1999, which is online as a picture blog and archive.
