(study for) Swedge of Heaven

Using real world locations in Essex, "(study for) Swedge of Heaven" explores liminal, transitional, and peripheral spaces and realms, navigated by a reanimated rave mascot and a wooden Neolithic fertility figure. Although from distant moments in history, the protagonists are both figures indicative of ritual gathering created by Essex communities. Within the work the figures hover in cultural/historical flux, a state of simultaneous belonging and alienation as they pass through and around places seemingly suspended on the edge of conventional time and space.

Our voices are not our own

"Our voices are not our own" explores the concept of voice as a physical and immaterial presence or absence, in relation to broken vocal cycles. Invisible figures wear drawn costumes, created for the film using a chemical-reflective, light-fibre fabric. Soft-pastels and fabric changes in the different light conditions and under flash everything becomes monochrome. The figures wearing these drawings are rendered ghosts, or ghosts of voices, only their shapes visible underneath. The film’s audio is created from distorting frequencies of various digital noises taken from text, email and messaging notifications in addition to breath and heartbeats.

East Village

A drone inhabited by the mind of a property developer arrives ‘top down’ from above and flies through the newly built residential neighbourhood in East London and gathers data at twilight. During the journey it maps the new utopian space it has built with its mechanical gaze, commenting and interacting with its findings, ‘We want to contain and retain our residents’. This is a place built in a bubble, controlled within the walls of developer’s billboards. Privately owned, East Village is awash with branding and reaffirming smiling faces. Purchase a luxury flat and buy into the services, life style and more. As the drone declares ‘Everything you need is here!’ With Westfield shopping mall on your doorstep, its ever present logo glowing like a beacon of hope, why would you ever want to leave?

#Happy

The name is a combination of the two words Happy and App. The authors of the film try to imagine the phenomenon of social chaos, when people see the source of their happiness in social networks.

Therefore, many so-called celebrities do ridiculous and radical things to attract the attention of the audience. The plot is based on several real stories that occurred on the Internet.
