              A homage to Lewis Caroll and to Alice Liddell, where the words of the final paragraph of “ Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” are re-arranged into a poem, using each word once, unless it appears more than once in the original . The title “simple simple simple “ is the words left over. The poem, text and sound, plays against the final page of a manuscript in Caroll's own hand, with one of his photographs of Alice at the foot of the page.

              In the last moments of a life, human senses blur with those of the surrounding forest. Death is the flowing of human senses out into the world beyond the flesh cage. Death is the final breath joining the endless journey of the night breeze.

              Sensible Shoes is a witty collision of fiction and reality, ironically rendered as a multi-textual pastiche of mass media and personal narratives. Adams's fragmented collage is structured on the stream-of-consciousness monologue of an unseen woman, who collapses fantasy and the everyday as she "zaps" the television dial and skims the newspaper. Seamlessly integrating her daydreams of romance with appropriated images of violence, love and consumerism from popular British TV programs and ads, Adams tells the story of how the mass media dictates the construction of personal narratives. Visuals, voiceover and on-screen words are juxtaposed in a tightly edited assemblage of off-air TV imagery, shrewd wordplay and visual puns. The source of the handwritten text that propels the spoken and image-driven narrative is revealed in an ironic twist at the tape's end. 3 Mostra de Vídeo Independent de Barcelona 1996.

              Rigid things can always be moved about is an investigation in three films and many gazes. The films are Notes on an African Orestie by Pasolini, Images of the world and inscription of war by Farocki and Sans Soleil by Chris Marker. The film is based on the idea of an intervention and on the idea of a discussion that comes to terms with the problems of using and misusing archive material. It also tries to transfer an academic context back to the filmic medium. With three different approaches of appropriating these filmic works the film explores the means and concerns of the cinematic image. It is a study of essay film using the means of the essayistic itself.
