Quote:
"[Lisa] Steele's production technique has changed little since she began making tapes in 1972. If the tape requires mutual investigation on the part of the viewer and the performer she will orchestrate her material around the frame, making you exercise both your eyes and your powers of observation. Similarly, if you are being told a story, you will be looked at through the camera. You will be treated less like a consumer and more like an accomplice. In both instances the style is direct and secure. However you are rarely presented with a 'smooth package'. You are shown how to make your own lists, references and comparisons. The stories and the investigations often overlap, whether the content is a welfare mother relating a child's death or a clinical microbiologist describing an imminent disease."
