Push comes to Shove is a collaborative installation which superimposes ‘found’ soundtracks onto 2 Super-8 films shot by Denise Hawrysio in the 80s. The films were part of a series made by attaching the camera to various machines or devices; in each case an invitation was made to the operator(s) of the devices to participate in the making of a film. There is no editing or manipulation of the footage outside of the camera. The soundtracks are unmanipulated clips from a suspicious telephone conversation found on a cassette tape bought for 25 cents from a street vendor in New York City and a police radio recording made in the South London squat in which the artists lived using an old hi-fi receiver found on the street. The speakers used in the installation were found on the streets of London. It’s up to the viewer to decide which soundtrack goes with which film.
