Exciting news – I have a solo show opening soon at Natlab in Eindhoven. It’s called Time Frames, and is based on my 2023 live video essay of the same name. It’s about time.
The show features three video works in some specially-made cinematic rooms:
Time Frames (2024)
Yes, this video lends its name to the exhibition – and it’s a newly updated version of the film, in a specially-created cinema room. It’s a film essay made using my Reflexive Scripted Design process, about the way that the times we live in shape what we perceive as possible. It’s thirty-something minutes long and features footage I’ve shot from around the world.
86400 (2016)
A special version of 86400 – a 24-hour film that features a new Google Images search for every second of the day – constructed inside a modified viewer. This work hasn’t been shown since 2017 – previously it was projected on a huge screen at the Palais de Tokyo, and in the hallway of the School of The Art Institute in Chicago. (Do you want to know more about this project? There is a write-up in my PhD here.)
Warm Impermanence (2024)
A new 5-screen video work, inspired by a line from David Bowie’s song Changes. It features footage of ripples and waves and moving water that I’ve taken over the past 12 years from around the world, alongside a six-hour-long version of Changes.
Edit: due to technical issues in the venue, this work is not on show at the moment.
