Inspired by the short form nature of the GIF – a digital video for quick repetition, a less than one minute clip of Elisabeth Welch singing ‘Stormy Weather’ has been appropriated from Derek Jarman’s film adaptation of ‘The Tempest’ (1979) and re-animated.
Without sound, the ghostly figure of Welch, captured mid-song, sparkles on the screen, and then fades, only to reappear in a continuous motion of turning towards and away from view.
In an endless loop between remembrance and a momentary future tense, geometric abstraction and graphic pixelation suggests a melancholic and mechanical reclamation.
Elisabeth Welch (1904-2003) was an American singer and actress who settled in the UK to widespread acclaim in the 1930s and is one of the numerous musicians in Boyce’s ongoing Devotional project.
