London Commute. During the Coronavirus lockdown, I found myself browsing through the many sounds I had recorded in the recent years of train journeys from Cambridge to London. They provided, in a strange way, an escape into urban life, now suspended, as we suspend our own lives. I wanted to publish these sounds not as sounds to listen to but rather as background noise for the people who may have lived with it on a daily basis, or for others who wish to discover it. This is a journey from Cambridge Station in the UK, terminating in Mortlake, West London, via Liverpool Street Station, London Underground and Waterloo Station. Recorded 2016, released 2020

second skin

A visual study on memory, alienation and innocence, using video to explore identity and roots, as the links with the past disappear. There is no narrative and the film is charged with visual content, allowing the viewers to be taken through the different stages of a personal journey into the past, present and future, resulting in a possible metaphor for the journey of life itself. The film is divided into five different chapters, showing the progression of a personal journey: the arrival, visiting the birthplace, now a derelict space, observing life as it happens outside of personal involvement, following the toddler son as he discovers the world, and finally with a dramatic visual conclusion summing up the noise and entanglement of life and memories. Although referencing personal issues with a great level of intimacy, this film does not offer specific information about dates, places or people involved, allowing anyone to relate to it in many levels. “second skin” is Juno Doran’s film début, made primarily as an introduction to the medium of film as well as a work of personal reconciliation with the erasing of roots with her birthplace, following the death of her grandmother. It was made with minimal video equipment and under very difficult conditions. The film is also her début in editing and sound design. Please contact to purchase a copy for personal use.
