When sending out the e-flyer about Touring Territories information detailing the search for UFO’s real or imagined- this came back from Les Bicknell – a UFO musical by the Red Rose Chain company. He didn’t elucidate if he went or not – we head there (Rendlesham) in the morning.

Also pleased to say corroborating evidence of Monday nights sighting received from Rachael Smith, Norwich.

Perhaps this will give us an inkling of what traces and evidence we will be looking for tomorrow in Rendlesham?

It is from the East Anglian Daily Times prior to the December 2010 30th anniversary conference of the Rendlesham or Bentwaters Incident.

Considering what form UFO research may take. There are, of course, a heap of precedents to draw from in film, literature and on the web. How to do this wholeheartedly and deeply with fun but without diving into empty pastiche. I think a bit of ‘full’ pastiche might be ok though.

And what are we looking for? What sort of evidence of UFOs are we looking for? I guess evidence takes many forms. I think we’ll be using a lot of the words and ideas in this definition:

1 they found evidence of his plotting: proof, confirmation, verification, substantiation, corroboration, affirmation, attestation.

2 the court accepted her evidence: testimony, statement, attestation, declaration, avowal, submission, claim, contention, allegation; Law deposition, representation, affidavit.

3 evidence of a struggle: signs, indications, pointers, marks, traces, suggestions, hints; manifestation.

verb

the rise of racism is evidenced here: indicate, show, reveal, display, exhibit, manifest; testify to, confirm, prove, substantiate, endorse, bear out; formal evince. ANTONYMS disprove.

Do we have a hidden agenda of scepticism to disprove the UFO sightings I wonder?

Dominique Rey:

Resistance Nest 9 – Happisburgh

A3 digital print on Fuji satin matt crystal archive paper

Dominique Rey produces photographs, sculpture, collage and video, informed by the narratives and influence of individuals on a particular site. The work investigates fundamental ideas about the transience of life, death and growth and notions of an afterlife or paradise. By using the form and lay-out of structures such as defence fortifications, places of worship, four-quartered gardens and Islamic textile designs, Rey works with the effects of time and human abrasion on the architecture of a landscape.

Number 9 is from a series of formalised views, fixed through obsolete World War Two defence loopholes. The camera looks out over shifting but peaceful Norfolk landscapes, here capturing the new coastline post landslide. The imposing black border defines the unseen, internal space and ‘holds’ the views and the voyeur. To paraphrase Paul Virilio, the visibility of the aperture, as well as its form, influences the perceptual identification of objects for the viewer. The bright views outside may seem distanced from the darkened, internal space. They reflect the disjuncture between a dark reality of life and ideas of a bright, paradise-inspired (after)life.
