Part description |
The Revolution, You're in It! was a documented performance, a performance which was occasionally staged for the benefit of the camera. Shot in 1989, it was a series of interventions which happened over two weeks in Cambridge. The Revolution, You're in It! was partly filmed on a roundabout near the Science Park, a Cambridge business park. Richard describes the work as political and funny but he also feels the film lost its edge during production, which he attempted to regain via his performance. He now feels the clip of The Revolution, You're in It! included in I Never Done Enough Weird Stuff is too long. He would have preferred to use only the beginning (the "arrival sequence") and the end dialogue, but had no means to edit the work further for the collated show reel. Richard also draws directly upon the work's central character, Bailey Savage during I Never Done Enough Weird Stuff. |
