Film shot in 16mm directed by Sam Scoggins then at Royal College Art of Jim’s Heavenly Bodies installation on the roof top of the National Theatre in London (1981), featuring music by “Moon Nail” a band he formed together with Angus Hutcheson [BFI Database 22961]. The Heavenly Bodies installation was inspired by Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera painting from the late 1470s or early 1480s. Sam’s film includes interviews with Jim, the making of the Heavenly Bodies using the “The Sarcophagus” moulding machine and clips of earlier work including Naughty Dollies (1974), Purgatory (1978), Poo Boys (1979), Rendezvous (1979) and Business Machine (1979). Some of this footage was also used in the South of Watford documentary in 1986 (see here).
