“Abject Leader’s deeply materialist aesthetic sets them
at an angle to the mainstream of contemporary moving image work. In
the era of digital proliferation, their emphasis on the analogue, the
handmade, the photo-chemical and the acoustical, is pleasingly defiant,
and a little perverse. It’s also captivating; Stern’s delicately
textured, sensitive soundscapes serve to contour the space in which
Golding’s projections explore the bewitching possibilities of
the celluloid medium, creating ephemeral cinematic experiences of startling
sensuality.
Hinging on the frisson of the moment, their work courts chance, improvising
the performance of sounds and films. This is what makes their work so
beautiful, vital, surprising, compelling: Abject Leader perform cinema.”
– Danni Zuvela, 2007
