Absence
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 1mins
- Status: Completed
ABSENCE is created in response to trauma. It explores how trauma shifts memories. The continuous display of images document intimate playful moments of us. These memories have now changed. The mouths that loved each other have now become the most violent part of the body, erupting verbal assaults that strips away what we were.
Bay Pay Mi
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 7mins
- Status: Completed
The Yolngu People are the traditional land-holders of North East Arnhem Land, Australia. BAY PAY MI is an experimental piece, created in collaboration with the Yolngu elder women. It talks about the Yolngu elder women's connection to the land and all that it provides. The women talk about the importance of passing on cultural knowledge to the next generation. BAY PAY MI was created over a week, out in the bush in North East Arnhem land. It was created on a laptop connected to a generator.
Ceasing
- 2004
- Short film
- Experimental
- 7mins
- Status: Completed
An old piece of Zen wisdom advises: 'when it is time to eat- eat, when it is time to work- work, and when it is time to die- die'. Buddhists advise that to truly live, you must truly accept death.
Discharge
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 4mins
- Status: Completed
DISCHARGE documents a time of grieving. The camera focuses on my eyes, reflecting my sadness. I looked at my eyes last night and they looked dead. The sound grabbed from fragments of conversation.
Falling In
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 3mins
- Status: Completed
FALLING IN is a piece about letting go. It all broke for me tonight - the illusion that we would get back together. I sit here so much wishing to be somewhere else - but having no idea where that 'else' is.
Grasp
- 2004
- Short film
- Experimental
- 4mins
- Status: Completed
GRASP is a manic piece about desire. Where is the line between desire, fear, and violence? The agitated pace and uncomfortable sound destructs, erupts and corrupts the image.
Humid
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 4mins
- Status: Completed
I feel shaky right now, my sense of security challenged, trying to hold on to whatever I can. I'm scared and disorientated with nothing to hold on to, no sense of direction, no idea of what lies ahead. All I have known is destroyed. I'm tired of holding on. I fall into it, drift and wallow in it. Right now I never want to surface. I'm used to feeling like this. I am too scared to feel any other way.
I am you
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 3mins
- Status: Completed
I AM YOU is a disorientating piece that explores physical and emotional claustrophobia. You have physically left though you still inhabit my body. You are not beside me but you are still inside of me. You have become my flesh and I want you out. The soundtrack, made from human voice, creates uncomfortable anxiousness and urgency, reflecting a tension that is never resolved.
I Don't Feel OK
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 2mins
- Status: Completed
I DON'T FEEL OK is a reflection on displacement, self-loathing and self-destruction. I can't sit still. I can't eat. I can't talk. I am paralysed in this moment. I want you to feel the way I do.
Leaving
- 2004
- Short film
- Experimental
- 2mins
- Status: Completed
LEAVING attempts to explore the sense of urgency of wanting to leave. Those moments before we leave, when expectations and excitement are at their peak. This dramatic manipulated video work also explores personal space and notions of intimacy and fear. Intimacy involves trust and confidence, which offers greater potential for rejection and pain.
Love: Loss
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 5mins
- Status: Completed
LOVE: LOSS is an intimate portrait of the fear of loneliness. For the first time in my life I am alone, and at this moment, I feel so afraid of it. How do I deal with those silent empty spaces. How do I invent a future without you in it? The entire film is searching towards fulfillment. In the end I realise that I always was alone. I realise silence is the only thing I can rely upon.
Now
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 3mins
- Status: Completed
NOW explores timing. When is the right time to let something go? How do you know when to walk away? And where am I walking away to? I glimpse the future without you in it. I know I will be fine.
The Only Way Out Is In
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 7mins
- Status: Completed
THE ONLY WAY OUT IS IN explores falling into silence. It is about becoming comfortable with the space between words and the gap between the outgoing and incoming breath. The primal sound is created by voice artist Natalie Waldbaum as she explores the inner acoustics of her body.
Outcome
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 2mins
- Status: Completed
OUTCOME explores responses to trauma. How has trauma shaped me? Has it become part of my everyday, part of the way I respond to things? Right now, I long to have no memory, no nostalgia, no sense of time. My mind is filled with these images, words, stories, burning themselves onto my retina. Becoming part of who I am. I look at my baby photo of the first time I opened my eyes. I want that peace again.
Slippage
- 2004
- Short film
- Experimental
- 3mins
- Status: Completed
SLIPPAGE explores the violent interpretation of extreme emotions. Overlaid video montage through manipulation and repetition breaks down the image; the face distorts, the skin collapses and the flesh around the mouth destructs. Closer to the paintings of Francis Bacon than traditional video portraiture, this work is an unsettling experience for the viewer.
Somewhere in Between
- 2004
- Short film
- Experimental
- 5mins
- Status: Completed
Using the real world as the point of departure, SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN takes visions of horizons at twilight to explores shifts of realities: misty lakes in Scotland, the polluted waters of Bombay, tropical waters of the Caribbean, the muddy waters of Northern Australia. These visions are manipulated such that their details become indistinct, leaving them barely discernible as seascapes. These revisions reflect our tenuous hold on memory, the impact our emotional state can have upon the past and present.
Surfacing
- 2004
- Short film
- Experimental
- 3mins
- Status: Completed
SURFACING attempts to capture the feeling of emerging from intense emotional experiences. The vision is blurry and indistinct. It asks how do memory and emotions impregnate the atmosphere? Are they part of the air we breathe?
Trust
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 4mins
- Status: Completed
TRUST uses fragments of rich sensual imagery and sound to weave a portrait of intimacy and emotion. We face each other, but we are not able to see each other clearly. The story of us has become more important than who we actually are. My own expectations shaped my image of you. I was so sure of what I wanted, that I didn't really see you at all. We just co-exist. Two people full of fear. Tomorrow I realise my my life is about to change.
Waiting
- 2004
- Short film
- Experimental
- 4mins
- Status: Completed
WAITING explores the relationship between presence and absence, between expectation and reality. Can we resolve the image of where we are going with the actual? Do we invest the real with our own hopes and fears? Can the real recover?
You and Me
- 2002
- Short film
- Experimental
- 2mins
- Status: Completed
YOU AND ME is a piece about my relationship right now. I am in the grip of circumstances beyond my control: fighting, arguing, screaming have become who I am.
