In the Space of a Day
Situated at the intersection of cinema, art and architecture, my thesis addresses the role of movement, time and duration in contemporary video practices. My thesis includes video and video-installation projects that are produced within fixed limits of time and very often in collaboration with others. Oscillating between academic enquiry and creative studio practice, I employ a combination of self-reflexive, collaborative and performative methodologies to investigate the potential of camera movement and editing in articulating contemporary ideas of time and duration. Working in sites of transit, my thesis also addresses the potential of architecture as both an active and passive agent, constantly moving between the foreground to the background of the narratives of transit, time and movement.
