An immersive live performance for multiple 16mm film and bass clarinet, taking in the whole gallery, submerging the audience.

A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.

A discussion about what is at stake in the performance of realness and the practice of passing, and how they are both acts of survival and resistance.
A recording session for BBC Radio Scotland under the M74 ‘Ski Jump’ extension ramp, a secion of motorway that doesn’t go anywhere, one of several such structures that populate the motorway system in the centre of Glasgow.
