Come to the Edge

Come to the Edge
Stephen Sutcliffe, UK, video, 2003, 1min, colour, sound

"Come to the Edge reveals Sutcliffe's worldview to be exacting, satiric, dark, morbid and peculiarly melancholic." (Mark Beasley)

 

Plane

Plane
Joe Mawson, UK, digital video, 2008, 3min 6sec, colour, sound

Plane follows a small aeroplane as it prepares to take off. Played out on the floor of the artist's shared studio, the work explores the role of the studio space as a place of fiction, imagination and the ridiculous, existing in and alongside the real world.

We'll Let You Know

We'll Let You Know
Stephen Sutcliffe, UK, video, 2008, 1min, colour, sound

Horizontal Boundaries

Horizontal Boundaries
Pat O'Neill, USA, 35mm on video, 2008, 23min, colour, sound by Carl Stone

Pat O'Neil uses recordings of the landscape around Los Angeles as the basis of a rigorous investigation into the horizontal division of of film frames on a motion picture film strip. By transforming the material through compositing and superimposition, the image sequences are horizontally fractured revealing their edges and limits. Arranged in a series of vignettes, 'Horizontal Boundaries' is a complex and disorientating tapestry of sliding horizon lines and shifting tectonics. Carl Stone provides a contrapuntal sonic landscape . (William Rose)

 

Ben

Ben
Emily Wardill, UK, 16mm, 2007, 10min, colour, sound

Ben juxtaposes two psychological case studies: one used by Sigmund Freud to illustrate the idea of 'negative hallucination' (where a patient believes a room full of objects to be empty) and the other regarding a subject called Ben, used by American psychoanalysis students to understand the condition of paranoia.
