Two multimedia projects showing installation incorporating layers of digital ‘narrative’- involving sculptures, performers & found space
Right - still from a ‘video-sketch’.
Left - images relating to the two overlaid bits of video.
Early stage ideation for a performance film, and a live performance with sculptural objects performed in a concrete urban space. Choreographed and directed by myself, made in collaboration with twin urban dancers Marta & Leah Valvderde - Back2Basics.
The work takes the theme of female phsychological transformation through a sleep-like ‘shut down’, from Sleeping Beauty and the pre-dating stories Sun, Moon & Talia (17th Centuary folk tale); and the rape of Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of love, war & fertility.
Briar Rose Sleeps, early stage ideation
Experimental clips overlaying moving image and space that could be taken into AR and Projection Mapping. The Rose Adage from the original Sleeping Beauty by Tchaikovsky play in the background in parts. The white object is a plaster cast of a finger bandage…
Social Experiments
Social Experiments is a multimedia project with various outcomes - a sculptural installation with embedded digital layers to the narrative, a performance, and a video work incorporating the two. I hand cut the sculptures from plywood and polystyrene.
Set in the foyer or an abandoned council services building (my temporary studio building), the work is about fraught support.Two women wait, still to be seen after everyone is long gone - one deeply stuck in rumination on the way up her cup should be. They are in-among a ‘chorus’ of huge sculptural, gossipy onlookers.
he video on the right was embedded in the back of a sculpture in the space - the digital layers of the work on a flat plane. The video itself uses overlaying of imagery and movement to show the internal monologue of the character, I’d love to take this approach into physical space.
