Soul Searching Sarah Miles 1990 15mins Colour SVHS Yolande Brener, Fiona Denison

Golden Syrup attempt to record the numinous phenomena soul established as a principle of uncertainty.

‘The trend is to reduce everything to things that could be made manifest so you could handle them and deal with them. There is a distinction between the manifest and the subtle. The manifest is what you hold in your hand and the subtle is the delicate, the undefinable. You could say there is an ecological crisis but ecology runs by itself, the crisis is in human beings. There is a dimension beyond the individual, the social and the cultural people have to pay attention to,’ David Bohm 1990.
