The Selves

Strong poetic sensibility, interweaving intimate observations and numerous film and literary references

Voice-over (by Fleming's partner, Zack Stiglicz) combines narrative fragments about a solitary woman and excerpts from books on psychology to create a sense of everyday melancholy

Fleming develops a personal visual language through repetition of particular allusions and imagery

“Like any worthwhile piece of art, Left-Handed Memories can be read several ways. Images of frames and framed materials recur. Pages of a dictionary flip by, and it is here that the viewer can see a reference to Will Hindle. Entry words echo his film titles - Billabong, Chinese Firedrill etc. A soft-focus female nude, reminiscent of an Edward Weston photograph, becomes increasingly scratched as the footage runs, a memento mori of the plastic material itself. Much, the film tells us, is beautiful, and much will be forgotten.” (Tom Whiteside)
