A Walk up the Hill in Six different Countries

A Walk up the Hill in Six different Countries is a sort of immersive video game pan through the landscapes of the Australian bush, breathlessly narrated by descriptions of the imaginary topologies of the Isle of Dionysis, Shangri-La, Narnia, and Utopia. Virtual landscapes that have been drawn from the experience of landscapes and which in turn shape and narrate our own understandings of the world. Here, they are the imported stories that have overlaid and erased the previous narratives that spoke the land in ways that we can now never know.

Rosalind Brodsky's Time Travelling Cookery TV Show *

In episode one of the cookery show Brodsky makes a dish of cherry and chocolate Polish pierogi from the disassembled ingredients of a German Black Forest cake, a symbolic translation of a German into a Polish dessert, which she originally invented to take on a time travelling trip to try and rescue her Polish Jewish grandparents from the Holocaust.

Rosalind Brodsky and the Satellites of Lvov- Spy in the House of Lvov *

The footage for Spy in the House of Lvov was shot in Lvov, Ukraine, near to my/Brodsky's father's birthplace and in Soho, London stalking Brodsky on a vibrators marketing trip. Spy in the House of Lvov is a song about Brodsky's range of feature vibrators and her complex relationship to them.

Ghosts of Maresfield Gardens *

The year is 1998. The ghost of Sigmund Freud materialises in his last home in North London for a final meeting with the ghost of his daughter, Anna. He has a confession to make which will alter the course of psychoanalytic history.

Freud and Anna are acted by my/Brodsky's parents in Freud's study at the Freud Museum, London. Part two of the video consists of my parents sitting in their office, an electronics import/export company in London, reading their parts.

Sightings U.K.

'SIGHTINGS UK' and 'SIGHTINGS AUSTRALIA' are documentary style videos featuring a range of people relating their encounters and often their time travelling experiences with Rosalind Brodsky.

The brief given to each participant was to relate an incident from a time and place in their own life during which they would be most likely to encounter Brodsky. (Each participant was familiar with the project so they all had a sense of where and when RB would be likely to turn up.) It is then up to each participant to relate how they came to actually meet RB, what ensued and a description of a time travelling experience if it eventuated.

The resulting stories relate to historical events, music, alchemy, psychoanalysis, art, religion, politics, conspiracy theories and the everyday.

Participants not in order of appearance in Sightings UK are: 1.Susan Hiller - Artist. 2. Marek Kohn - Author of books on race theory and columnist for The Independent newspaper. 3. Andrew Renton - Writer/curator. 4. Teo - 5 year old child. 5. Yuko Shiraishi - Artist. 6. Garry Grayson - Astrologer, analyst, ex-schoolteacher.
