Science takes time. It can several hours for a PCR machine to amplify a DNA sequence. Laboratory Film was conceived as a piece that would echo or mimic or mirror the temporal duration of a PCR experiment. In the project I wanted to make duration tangible - to make a film in which time is not simply an idea, or an 'invisible' container for a series of things that happen, but rather a film in which time itself attains a certain density and weight. Science also takes place. The lab - workplace of the scientist - is an institutional space, and one that has its own style and particular beauty: a beauty that is often overlooked because institutional spaces become so familiar to us.
