synaesthesia screen sound performance series curated by Eugenia Lim
ABJECT LEADER showcase recent constructions for multiple 16mm projection, film loops, photo-chemical manipulation, optical sound, and confusion; including new works:
Face of an Other (2008)
16mm film reel & loop, body screen
Obsessions with cinematic horror manifest onto the filmmaker’s
own body in a bizarre accumulation of unreality.
Composted Memorial (2009)
16mm film reel and loops, 9.5mm archival images, waveforms, insects,
obstructions
Photo-sonic film where images literally generate the noise, composed
entirely in the darkroom, utilising home movies from 1920s & 1930s
Brisbane.
Who’s Oscillating? (2009)
3x 16mm B&W film loops with RGB filters, electronic & analogue
soundscape
An experiment in colour separation and ‘phasing’ using re-filmed
antique postcards. An additive colour separation process where B&W
film projected back though red, green and blue filters produces a heady
saturated colour blast. The editing structure conforms to a secret mathematic
phase formula.
Four Dimensional Nightmare (2009)
3x 16mm B&W film loops with RGB filters, optical sound & electronic
soundscape
R.I.P. J. G. Ballard (15 November 1930 – 19 April 2009), long
live Perry Rhodan (b.1961). Dystopian space opera.
