Positive Transparencies

Inspired by Nan Goldin's 'Trees by the River, Munich' (1994), 'Positive Transparencies' comprises the tensions emerging from the destruction and reconstruction of 17 individual 35mm slides. This cinematic endeavor seeks to explore the methodologies employed in observing, scrutinizing, and transmuting the natural world through technological means. The pristine landscape of Hornby Island in British Columbia serves as the project's primary reference point, as it employs extensive analog deconstruction techniques to repurpose the island's scenic vistas. Live dye destructions captured on film are meticulously edited and layered to metamorphose into dynamic motion sequences and novel color palettes, thereby emulating a process of artistic disintegration.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
