Synopsis

I'm not aware of you taking my skin, says the artist's mother to the camera as it zooms in on her eye as close as the lens will allow. Taking My Skin tracks a dialogue between the artist and her mother. Their exchange ranges from narrating the filming process 'in the moment' to relations in an earlier time - 'how long do you think it takes for a child to become separate?' Throughout the journey film spaces continuously dissolve and collapse only to separate again. Sometimes the artist is behind the camera, sometimes the mother, sometimes both simultaneously behind and in front, or neither. Both perform, film, and alternately instruct, position and direct the other. Formally and thematically, the film is an exploration of closeness, of synching, and the threat this poses to the self.

Synopsis

The Time Master introduces a series of tales about the weird and wonderful things that time can do. Time can send a young, struggling Shakespeare his completed works through a wormhole in space, before he's even written them, and can give Leonardo da Vinci a glimpse into the future. Time can stop still, to give you the chance of revenge on a scheming enemy, or can repeat itself, so that you have the opportunity to save a friend and turn your life around. Bad timing can mean that you miss out on the chance of hitting the big time in 1960s Liverpool, or it can put you in the wrong place at the wrong time with terrifying consequences. The impossible becomes possible in the world of the Fourth Dimension.
