Look and Look Again

I’ve been using video as part of my artistic practice since 1997. This has often meant thinking about the nature of Screendance and how thinking through moving image is usefully thought of as choreographic.

Screendance festivals are odd affairs. The usually very short films are screened one after another in a curated evening and it’s a dizzying experience for audiences.

In 2012 I was deep in screendance-land and wanted to disrupt that film-after-film experience for audiences. And so I submitted two short films that I called Look and Look Again to American Dance Festival Dancing for Camera. Both films had no credits, were presented in silence, and most notably were screened apart from each other during the evening.

The films are actually ripped out of an earlier work called Inert developed with Shannon Bott, David Corbet, Scott Mitchell and Cormac Lally.

I’ve made a page for the videos over with my #practice tag at Look and Look Again
