David Blandy Origins: Enter The Barefoot Lone Pilgrim
2007
David Blandy's Barefoot Lone Pilgrim gets the back-story treatment in a video work that spins its story through a mixture of original footage and elements appropriated from the artist's collection of soul records and kung-fu movies. A recurring character in Blandy's oeuvre the 'Pilgrim travels both the external world and the artist's internal terrain of interests, passions and influences in search of the soul.
