This film represents great value for money. It actually begins at Wolverton with a brief look at the class 319 EMUs’ metamorphosis. Then to Brighton for the start of the 50 minute journey, seen virtually in real time. At the time of filming in 1998, Connex Expresses ran between the south coast and the capital with just one intermediate stop at East Croydon. The trains then ran non-stop through Haywards Heath, Gatwick Airport and even Clapham Junction! There is a great deal of history crammed into our journey such as the tragic accident in Clayton Tunnel, the tunnel with a house above the castellated portal. In 1998, Connex held two of the former Southern region franchises but today they have none. Relive the yellow days of Connex here.

This is a never released piece of video art created by Aryan Kaganof when he still went by his birth name 'Ian Kerkhof' based on an installation he created in 'tribute' to Dutch actress Sylvia Kristel.

A constant element linked to the bull is water. This animal is said to emerge from the depths of an enchanted lagoon. It is a dangerous, almost demonic animal. All these attributes are similar to those of the Amaru in pre-Hispanic times. This explains why both images merged. The counterpart of the Amaru is the celestial Condor. The latter is said to be Machu Inca, or the old Inca. In the Andean dualistic scheme, the Condor represents the upper world, and the superimposition of the condor and the bull illustrates the balance of two complementary opposites that Andean people constantly reiterate to express their sense of integration or unity of the social body.
