Overview

The divide between moving image installation and cinema is continuously being manoeuvred and eschewed, and Screen Space's latest exhibition, Transformer blurs this boundary further.

The exhibition features video works from Benjamin Ducroz and creative duo Ms&Mr. Benjamin Ducroz’s stop motion animation will have you flying through the clouds, and his work 'Cumulo' will explore remote landscapes to a haunting soundtrack. Ms&Mr will be mashing up old home VHS footage with more recently filmed footage in 'Amputee of the Neurotic Future', which is part of their ‘Videodromes for the Alone’ series. Ms&Mr will be rewriting their history according to JG Ballard's dictum “nothing is real until you put it in the VCR".

Transformer is part of the Channels video art festival, which runs from September 18 - 21.
