AND NOW MY VOICE ENTERS YOUR SYSTEM
Three new 16mm film studies at INDEX gallery, 12th – 21st April, 2013
From the projector a ribbon of film threads across the room and loops back to the machine. The filmstrip cuts through the space – a line of emotion, voice made material – the gallery becoming a poetic moment. In these works the projector rejects it’s principal function and refuses to emit image and instead the machines intone whispered, spoken and sung phrases – each loop a rumination. Using the voice as a key element in the work to transmit a powerful sonic register, the filmstrips slice through the gallery to create kinetic and audible drawings that resonate throughout the space.
Also, an essay on the new drawings by Colin Glen published in INDEX press is available to read here.
