Help Desk
Director: Edwin Rostron
Year: 2023
A hypnotic hand drawn animation; a mysterious transmission revealing playful geometric possibilities. The film provides a meditative and contemplative space, oscillating between flatness and depth, control and instability.
Our Selves Unknown
Director: Edwin Rostron
Year: 2014
Exploring ideas of landscape and dislocation, ‘Our Selves Unknown’ takes architect Lionel Brett's 1965 book ‘Landscape in Distress’ as its sole raw material, isolating and reconfiguring its photographic illustrations, text and cover design as pencil and ink drawings, using a working process of self-enforced rules and restrictions, obstacles and chance.
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.
