cover : Images drawn from over 1300 digital cinema ‘notations’ made by Andrew King and Angela Silver in Rome while King was the 03-04 Prix de Rome recipient. The films were all made while moving across the city at various speeds, tracing particular historic, critical and conceptual itineraries mapped over contemporary Rome. They are abstractions of movement through the city, its gates and terminals.
