Behind the camera

Blue Movie poster
NR

C+M, for YK. Subtractive colour blending is used in an attempt to conjure Yves Klein's 'L'accord bleu (RE 10)', 1960. The limitations imposed by media and technology ensure that my perfect pigment never is, and that what is produced is ephemeral, declarative, and reverent of the impure. Laser printed onto recycled 16mm film in 2014.

"Really, when it comes to gay rights, there's two wars going on. The first war is political, but the culture war is over." - Dan Savage. How do you transgress in 2015? Don't bother. A personal Venn diagram, a conceptual cobbling together of interests and identifiers, a sound and animation experiment rendered in all 260 fonts on my MacBook. Please play loud."

Dingbat's Revenge poster
NR

Can an experimental animator follow contemporary Hollywood logic? New ideas are out of fashion; everything's a trilogy. Laser-printed onto recycled 16mm film in 2015, Dingbat's Revenge is a coded, stroboscopic manifesto pitched somewhere between abstraction and representation. "Can you feel that? We're done here. Move out of the way or I'm gonna run you over." - Tony Stark.
