The Turtle Terminator The Turtle Terminator

Director: C.J. Lazaretti

Year: 2017

Bitten by a turtle in his childhood, a man remembers the effect that the scar has had on his love life. Following its protagonist's fragmented recollections through childhood, youth and old age, The Turtle Terminator conjures up a lifetime of romantic mishaps through unreliable memories, youthful enthusiasm and unbearable heartbreak.

A still from the film depicting a dancer being shadow projected Adage

Director: Jack Barrett

Year: 2025

Adage is a ballet term which refers to a slow and graceful sequence of movements - in this film artist/ filmmaker Jack Barrett seeks to juxtapose this with disorientating abstraction caused by process and editing. Barrett utilises risograph, mono-print, shadow projection and manual point tracking to create varying levels of abstraction, in turn playing with our associated perception of movement.

A 3d printed of a female duet displayed in a vitrine in front of a projection of a digital image of the split second of the duet captured in photogrametry Loss.y

Director: Lisa Jamhoury

Year: 2026

Situated at the physical-virtual threshold, loss·y memorializes corporeal passing and digital rebirth. The work intertwines animated sculptural “dances” with interactive spatial audio, inviting audiences to navigate invisible thresholds as they move. loss·y presents three split-seconds of a motion-captured female-female pas de deux: each moment is suspended in a vignette that overlaps projection and 3D prints encapsulating the dance in sculpture, with spoken-word poetry and spatial sound design. The installation’s audioscapes blend cold technical facts, accounts of digital dysmorphia and surveillance, and computer-generated sampling, creating an elegy to the vital body that is at once human and digital. On its surface a critique of today’s techno-society, loss·y collusively takes up digital reduction and surveillance as creative media, revealing reverence for the uncanny wonder that pulls us forward into our new, hybridized world.
