Artist, animator, sound designer and filmmaker Paul Fletcher shares with us his latest collection of abstract screen works spilling with hypercolour for Summer.  

101 Hypercolours of Summer Blending into One is a new sixty-minute, abstract film made up of a series of scenes that blur into each other.  

Each scene behaves like a modular component in a larger whole. Each of the modules becomes a dance of music and movement, colours and shapes, moments, and moods in a longer journey. Any viewer can tune in or out, join, leave, or return to the journey at any point to best suit and create their own experience. Technically each scene lasts between just 2 and 10 minutes in screen time, but each aim to create and explore the indefinite sense of human time that arises in different contexts and can often emerge from immersion in sound and moving image.  

The title, naming and claiming of, “101 Colour’s and sounds “, is a partly joking dig at the limits of usefulness of quantifying the known and unknown mysteries of each individual’s perception and their connection to what they see and hear - maybe you see and feel no colour, six colours, or hundreds of subtly different shades of sound, shapes and colours?
