secondchance

secondChance is an existential musing using realtime footage of a sunrise over the city of Melbourne in relationship to the speed and proximity of trains and a seemingly static viewer. This work explores relative motion and time using archetypal imagery of trains, birds, sunrise and the questionable nature of stillness in the viewer on screen. I created a soundtrack mixing ambient sound, live recording of drums and manipulated instrumentals.

   insideOut

Frankston Arts Centre till 28 June 2009 |

I made a video projection as a response to the architecture of Cube 37 and its relationship to the local landscape – the urban buildings of the city and the nearby Port Phillip. Although generally used as a project surface I felt the glass structure acted as a type of skin between inside and outside. Titled insideOut I worked with Abigail Sebaly a contemporary dancer to define the actual space within the glass gallery and outside directing her to measure the architecture using her body and then to walk through Frankston towards the beach at sunset. I have used a sensor triggered light source connected to the video projection activated by change of light at sunset. I wanted to retrace the journey in human terms – measuring time and space by video, recording Abigail's trajectory from the gallery to the sea. The image on the circular canvas painting responds to the vast internal space of the gallery, its materiality and the fixtures within that keep the glass in place. | view video

weight/wait

I am exploring the relationship between memory and motion by slowing down a 16mm film converted to video to 2% of its original speed. Some people describe a life review which occurs within near death experience as a lifetime compressed in great clarity to seconds of time.  Oddly this video permits an opportunity to reflect on details that remind me of that experience. I am interested in the way slowness of motion may produce a similar experience as the life review yet in an instant.
