Heaven (1997) was Moffatt’s first foray into video art proper after an extensive career in documentaries, shorts, feature films and music videos. Using a low-end domestic camcorder Heaven consisted of surreptitiously recorded shots of male surfers showering and changing at beach-side car parks. As the piece progresses, Moffatt’s camera moves closer to her subjects, changing what had begun as a piece of voyeurism into an interaction between the unseen director and her subjects.
