This is a live projection event for two 16mm projectors and two loudspeakers. The material in Cycles (1972/77) is recycled for two screens and two soundtracks, with one screen set inside another, giving rise to a surprising induced colours and rhythmic patterns.
A film made without a camera in which both image and sound are the result of the same chemical process. Raw film was spooled onto a spiral and partially submerged in developer, so that only half the film is developed, leaving the trace of a time spiral in the image and (optical) sound. The film can...
“Black film stock is repeatedly cut and rejoined. The cuts are made with the angled blade of a splicer normally used for joining sound film. At each cut we see an angled flash of light followed by a thud of sound. The film combines rhythmic intervals from one cut per second to twenty-four cuts...
A performance work for multiple projectors in which the starting point is my sound & image experiments of the 70s. The film and sound material was prepared in one simple action by bleaching away the side of a length of black leader, leaving a clear strip running along its length. The film has two...
Made during an artist residency in the rural Nijomasue district of Fukuoka, south Japan. The film features the public information system used to alert residents of earthquakes and other possible dangers

A film collaboration using six projectors that evolved from Lynn Loo's film o and Guy Sherwin's printer installation bdpq. The images were produced by printing letterforms directly onto raw 16mm film, and their shapes make sounds as they pass through the projectors' optical sound heads. These...
A performance for two projectionists using two 16mm projectors with freeze-frame. This performance version further animates the newspaper text by using intermittent projection, pausing and re-starting the film on its way through the projector. The pauses allow us to read chance fragments of the...
