drone drama: music for the dead chapter1


Drone Drama: Music for the Dead is an email collaboration with Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt, the composer, in Berlin, and myself on the US west coast. In progress through the year, we have completed three videos and filming three this month.

The 11 chapter, 17 minute video explores the interplay between Marquardt's subtle drone compositions and Chapman's fantastic video interpretation of Marquardt's tracks and titles that address what it is to be human in the age of the drone.

These photographs and stills were taken on the midsummer's eve full moon when the sun was setting and moon rising at the same time, so that I had lunar and sun light. Find more info here https://www.facebook.com/ChapmanMarquardt/ and   http://www.ceceliachapman.com/drone-drama/
