A film by Phil Coy

In 2000, before Google was Google as we now know it, I made an Internet search for 'paradise' and downloaded 275 thumbnail images. I put the images together as single frames with a frame rate of 25 frames per second so they became equivalent to 'eleven seconds of paradise'. In 2010 I was curious to see how paradise had changed so made another search and remade the work.

275 thumbnail images collected from an internet search for ‘paradise’. Images tidied up in Photoshop and organized as single frames in a 25 frames per second timeline.
