Decom is a portrait of a decommissioning yard, the place where oil and gas platforms come to die. These huge structures are lifted from the sea and broken apart, recycled and reused on land. My video work is devoid of any people; the machines have taken over to clean up the scraps of man.
The scrapyard has its own flow, and the film has the same rhythm. It is a slow pace – with tranquil wide shots introducing a sense of otherworldliness – punctuated by sudden bursts of violence. You see the same cycle at sea, when an oil or gas field reaches the end of production. Operators stimulate the field through fracking, causing the pressure to drop, followed by a violent explosion when the oil flows back up. The process is then repeated.
