So today I went to the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester to see an exhibition by Jane and Louise Wilson and happened to come across this series by Tacita Dean, named 'Fernsehtum' 2001. The stills are taken from a 44 minute film shot inside the restaurant of the revolving Fernsehtum television tower. The series shows the waitress setting the tables in the early morning, the customers coming in and enjoying their meals and the daily routine of people coming and going, showing the sun rise, sit strong and then set as the night takes hold. The series finishes showing the waitress clearing away the tables after a day of business. Although this series isn't a circular narrative, it could have turned out to have been, going through the night to show the waitress setting the tables the next day.
Here's an example of how my series will work out... Hopefully!...
