Market Street
Tomonari Nishikawa, 16mm, USA/Japan, 2005, silent, 5mins.

“I started working on this project for an event, 'A Trip Down Market Street 1905/2005: An Outdoor Centennial Celebration', sponsored by the Exploratorium, a museum in San Francisco. As I am interested in the projection apparatus and human visual perception, I single-framed and carefully juxtaposed images on Market Street, in order to create certain happenings on the screen. The result may look abstract, yet representative enough to show the characteristics of the street. For sound, I will record the outdoor event, which will take place at the east end of Market Street, with a shotgun microphone, while this film is being projected as a silent film.”—Tomonari Nishikawa

Distant Things
Katy Woods, 2006, video, silent, 10 mins.

In her film Distant Things Katy Woods animates micro film by standing a video camera in front of the monitor and speedily flicking through thousands of images. She then pauses for a few seconds resting on an image she likes the look of. Woods has an eye for a satisfying image. She loves a bird. Images of birds are paused at frequently. In a world saturated with visual images How does one make a choice? Ones own intuition seems as successful as any.

Black and White Trypps No. 4
Ben Russel, 16mm, USA, 2008, b/w, sound, 10 mins.

Using a 35mm strip of picture slug featuring the deceased American comedian Richard Pryor, this extended Rorscharch assault on the eyes moves out of a flickering chaos created by incompatible film gauges into a punchline involving historically incompatible racial stereotypes. – Ben Russell

Basket
Nicky Hamlyn, UK, 9mins.

Characteristic of Nicky Hamlyn's work, Basket is a transformative representation of an everyday object. A yellow clothes peg basket hanging on a washing line moves steadily in the wind, the permutations of it twists and turns being optically intensified by the low resolution camera it was recorded on.
