months later
Tony Knox: 19 Moths Later. '19 Months Later' is
a short film in which Knox is found in a small
private woodland that is under threat of being
cut down for housing redevelopment. He placed
four 8x6 foot mirrors into the structure of an
abandoned shed for 5 months, and the mirrors became
submerged into the environment. 19 months later,
to the very day of his father's death Tony Knox
returned to the woodland and produced a pair of
scissors. He proceeded to cut off his beard, revealing
physical similarities to his father and then adopting
his father's clothes and glasses he started to
cut away his shoulder length hair.
These actions transformed his appearance into
the persona of his father. The piece explores
a sense of loss and the degeneration of memory.
