i carry your heart
Set to a poem by e.e.cummings, i carry your heart is a film about love. Cyril Connolly said that “there is no more sombre enemy of good art than the pram in the hall.” This film rails against that concept and is a celebration of how motherhood can inform, mutate and feed creativity. The images have been digitally manipulated and re-coloured, injecting a sense of hyper-realism, nostalgia, loss and hope. The film is a collaboration of sound and image, underpinned by musical, as well as cinematographic rules and form.
'i carry your heart' (2008) represents a more autobiographical direction in Curry’s practice; the film features images of beating hearts and home videos projected onto a woman’s torso, accompanied by music and a female voice singing the words of the E.E. Cummings poem, ‘I carry your heart with me’. Together the images and music become a compelling, if sombre celebration of love, motherhood and the fragile human body. Curator Angela Beck
