His small, screen-bound world is controlled through camera movement, re-framing and subtle alterations in the objects around him from one shot to the next, and disobedience plunges him into the trauma of regressive formats such as Super8, mobile phone footage, stop motion, videotape, DV, hand-cranked 35mm and stills. The Rioter must either humiliate himself for the camera, or forfeit its attention - unless he can find a way to act without incurring punishment. Written by Anonymous See less
