Shot during the Gulf War in 1991, Smart Bomb was influenced by footage of the video assist on the newest weapon: the Smart Bomb. It was eerie how closely it resembled the image created by the Pixel Vision camera, continuing the long relationship between war technology and consumer products. To that end, it was shot at the Eaton Centre in Toronto on a busy Saturday. - Marnie Parrell

“GRITTY was rephotographed off both slides and cine footage made in 1983. The location is a popular beach where people are active enjoying the sunshine. However, I wanted to explore the notion of the Gaze and to bring out the darker aspects that resort, specially hints of voyeurism. I do this through exaggeratedly slow camera movements upon the still images and long unnaturally extended pans with moving images of children running and fishing in sunset reflecting pools.”

"The forest smelled damp, and the sun disappeared behind a cloud. Vitalik put a Quartz camera in my hands. "I'll pretend to be a bird, and you'll take it off sometime." Vitalik lay down on the ground, and I pressed the first lever I saw. Branches cracked somewhere, and a duck quacked loudly in the air. It feels like something has cracked inside me too." - Sergey Kochurov

This televised biography special, hosted by Martin Short, examines the innovative work of comedian Ernie Kovacs, featuring a series of clips of his shows and performances. Short explains that Kovacs' work was "simple and innocent" on the surface, but featured a "grim" darker side that pleased his audience, including a memorable sketch in which his opera critic character used a shotgun to express his annoyance with a soprano's performance. He did most of his own writing and created a series of unique characters of various nationalities and professions, including a Prussian DJ and a bumbling magician. He played upon his experience as a second-generation immigrant, born to Hungarian parents, and his most famous characters included Miklos Molnar, a Hungarian cooking show host, and Leena, Queen of the Jungle. A pair of gag glasses helped Kovacs to create Percy Dovetails, a lisping poetry enthusiast of dubious talent.

Round 4 of the 1991 World Rally Championships took place in Kenya, East Africa. Nissan introduced their latest supercar, the brand new Pulsar GT with Stig Blomqvist, Mike Kirkland and David Llewellin on board. The usual big-name drivers were present including Juha Kankkunen, Jorge Recalde and Miki Biasion representing Martini Lancia's main assault team. World Champion Carlos Sainz was totally unfazed by the competition nor was he unduly disturbed by Nissan's Pulsars. Sainz spearheaded Toyota's battle squad which also included Bjorn Waldegaard and the notoriously fast Miki Biasion. The stage was set for a fast and furious round. The outcome was as stunning as the fabulous scenery of Africa, captured skilfully by the ever-alert cameramen.
