Persisting (1975)

Sinopsis

In Persisting an image of the Yangtse bridge is re-filmed with a soundtrack of popular Chinese music and the legend “persisting in our struggle”. Kerr, who studied with Steve Farrer and Lis Rhodes at the North East London Polytechnic and participated with the latter on a series of performance pieces in the mid-1970s, creates strong iconic statements in his films, invariably from found images which are often banal. “Thee gap in between, perception and awareness of perception of moment is Persisting.” (Genesis P. Orridge).
