A silent collage of found film footage partially layered with computer graphics to provide a framework in which live music can develop.
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
A performed, open, public conversation about how we might think politics from the position of intuition, in which Denise and Valentina use un-reasonable tools to map out a hybrid poetical/ ethical reading of their own situations.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
An open-ended moment in an ongoing series of films, notes, performances, diagrams and drawings which trace the questions they share. A “porous space between cinema time-space and lived time-space.”

A public gathering that brings together local artists, musicians, activists, and community organisers.
A system in which film is projected onto copper strips, captured again and then re-projected as video, somehow transforming the original imagery into molasses-slow, molten and incredibly tactile flickers of colour and light.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
“Hidden in the hands an alluvial transcription of reach and embrace. The final flickers of the body’s expression, caress and touch.” – boychild
