A Life in B Tween

A Life in B Tween

2012 • 4 min
Presents a trio of high schoolers contemplating their reality in relation to the polished scenes of television. Considering the fourth wall of fiction as an ideal lens through which to see life, the cartoon moves between the banality of consumer moroseness and the capitalist fantasy in which aesthetics, music, and fashion determine value and meaning. The scenes unfold like a serialized cartoon, aiming to subtly present an altogether different thesis than this form commonly offers or promotes.

Screen Flicker

2012 • 2 min
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.

Waterloo

Waterloo

2012 • 4 min
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.

Silence

Silence

2012 • 4 min
"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.
