A single cartridge of Super 8 captures my mothers last visit to her garden. Her body is seen slowly dissolving towards illumination, while her image is forever immortalized in light and silver. Poem borrowed from the Wabanaki creation myth of the first woman, The Corn and Tobacco Mother.

A young woman stalks a homosexual man whom she loves and plots to break up the man's relationship with his partner, presumably so she may attempt win the man over.

SCREEN FLICKER re-stages the flatness of the computer screen, in direct opposition to the tunnels of cyberspace. Screens naturally flicker, at a rate too quick for our eyes to perceive but one that can be captured by a camera. This video confuses the medium of the computer screen with that of film, employing the classic avant-garde film strategy of flicker.

A short rotoscope film by Mika Seike.

Short documentary scene involving various animals.

Shot in London in the underpass the connects the IMAX theater to Waterloo station, "Waterloo" is part of a series of recent works that explore the limits of digital capture by setting up a series of formal parameters and then letting them play themselves out (almost) automatically in relation to randomizing elements. The capture rate is set at one frame per second, though sound is recorded in real time. Focus, exposure, and effective shutter speed are allowed to float and respond eccentrically to changing light levels, focal distances, and color temperatures in ways that produce a free play between figuration and abstraction. However, despite the abstract, painterly, and conceptual character of these images, the work is meant to be understood as a document responding to specific landscapes, situations, movements, trajectories, and durations.

On the Way to the Moon, We Discovered the Earth is a historical remix of the New York Times newspaper printed during the New York City Blackout in 1977. The 1977 Blackout is unofficially credited with the formal birth of hip-hop, a movement that was already well underway but advanced with equipment looted during the riots.

An experimental fiction cut into six distinct parts that present the feeling of love as “precarious” fragments of identity. The ambition of these fragments is to retranscribe the personal affect of the film author as much as the more general one of a collective and common imaginary.

The utopia of a society in which people do not live in alienation is possible. Solar power in Skellefteå started to meet the patients when the mental hospitals were closed. There are 700 people who work and are needed, even former criminals and addicts are welcome.

"Two Jesuit priests travel to seventeenth century Japan under the Shogunate regime (which has isolated itself from all foreign contact) to see how the evangelical mission is going. There they witness the persecution of Japanese Christians at the hands of their own government, which wishes to purge Japan of all western influence. Eventually the priests separate and Rodrigues travels the countryside, wondering why God remains silent while His children suffer.“ I love this movie since i found this text! And i wanted to translate this story to an abstract short avantgarde film. I was inspired by the paintings of Sanchez Cotan, who lived in this time the story is located. I want to show the develpoment of the emotions of the two priests. The drama is, that everything can be excused in the catholoic church. Except the Apostasia - the doubt to the faith in God. You can steel, murder or lie. You go to confession and everything is forgotten. But doubting is unforgivable.

How do younger queers who have never known a world without AIDS, including the accompanying prevention and treatment strategies that have been popularized over the last two decades, relate to the history of the epidemic and to those that managed to survive its earlier conditions? This is the central question that motivates this project’s focus on the HIV/AIDS epidemic and how its meaning has shifted and changed along generational lines.

With the present day prevalence of the internet, it seems all areas of the world are accessible from any location. 'Google Earth' embodies this. The 'Turf' exhibition (05/2012) allowed viewers interactively to zoom and scroll over the films 'map', able to view the events taking place, but unable to affect them.

As the question goes, this is the daily life of a grass-roots cadre. The day is white and the night is black.

Kim’s film reflects on matriarchy, domesticity, and Korean society in poetic form: the footage is interspersed with surreal and dreamlike scenes of choreographed actions, strange gestures, and repetitive daily activities. Voiceover and written text from various sources, such as an interview with the artist’s childhood nanny, weave throughout the film. The soundtrack was developed with Kim’s frequent collaborator, the musician David Michael DiGregorio, known as dogr.

This is the story of a man marked by a childhood image. The scene that disturbed him by its violence, and whose meaning he would only manage to understand much later... With these sentences, narrated in voice-over, begins Chris Marker's film La Jetée, and which in this video come to open the question of how does one come to have a memory that one never had? Memory, metonymy, desire, abjection, childhood, belonging and photography appear here as loose pieces of a reconstruction of the scene, where the absence of a body, that of the witness, and the presence of another, a victim, constitute the staging of the way in which individual memory and testimony are complexly intertwined with collective memory. We are not privileged witnesses of the scene, except by the desire for the scene.

A travel memoir on two projectors: one reel is black and white, the other color. The films are superimposed at the time of projection, and edited together during a live performance in which I use chinese fans as external shutters. By blocking the light of one projector with a fan, the image of the other shines through. The sound is played on a small electronic Buddhist "chant box", which is passed through the audience during the performance.
