Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Friday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
Imagery, drawn from what seems like hundreds of different films is overlaid and combined in a promissory rainbow of new meanings and impossible scenarios, with the unsettling feel of daylight shadows.

This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Julius Eastman’s Evil Nigger for 4 pianos performed by Joe Kubera, Kate Thompson, David Murray, Alan Fearon and Simon Passmore.
