Walking After Acconci (Redirected Approaches) references a seminal video work made in 1973 by performance artist Vito Acconci. In it, Acconci paces the length of a corridor, talking to an absent ex-lover. Forsyth and Pollard worked closely with Plan B (679 Recordings), a sharp-tongued young MC, to update the script and re-shoot the video, liberally adopting the style and aesthetic of contemporary urban music videos.

The resulting film is a combination of reconstruction and revision, a double-take, a superimposition paralleling two eras, two forms of cultural expression and two dialogues; the dialogue with the Acconci piece and the dialogue with the camera - the viewer, you.

The piece was filmed in one 24 minute take, with a single, static camera. Iain and Jane then took the footage to Rushes to work with colourist Marcus Timpson on grading the look of the image to achieve the feel of a contemporary urban music video.

First exhibited in Iain and Jane's first solo show at Kate MacGarry, London UK during September - October 2005 and about to be shown in Surfing The Surface curated by Cecilia Canziani at Galleria Paolo Bonzano in Rome, Italy in February - March 2006.
