John Foxx’s bucolic audio-visual collage in Tiny Moving Pictures reflects his entire career. His past musical and cinematic influences, from Ultrovox! to his genre-rattling, cross-medium conceptions, surface to weaken the post-‘90s wave of raveless new rave with history and explorative depth.
Foxx’s Metamatic was heralded as a new rave blueprint with its analogue, minimalist attributes. But since then he’s worked with the likes of Tim Simenon, Aphex Twin and Louis Gordon.
Tiny Moving Pictures celebrates this calibre of artist through layers of fossilised audio that Foxx performs live to video. Super 8 films of surveillance-camera city vignettes pivot on references to Kerourac, JG Ballad and TS Eliot. In a recent interview, Foxx explains that the appeal of shooting on Super 8 is to show "raw beauty…from an unrecognised, parallel world". Tiny Moving Pictures is like an encyclopaedic account of Foxx, teaching us that John Foxx kept himself busy after ‘Vienna’.
