Guy Sherwin on Light Cycles
Seven 16mm film installations, each almost a still-life concentrated on a single object or quality of light. Light projects onto physical surfaces, a drawing, a mirror, a suspended paper screen. Several of the works originated within Short Film Series (1975-ongoing), an interconnected set of three-minute films, and have since been adapted in unique ways for looped presentation in the space of the gallery.
The exhibition extends ideas from Film in Space, an exhibition I curated for Camden Arts Centre (2012/3) in which UK works of 16mm expanded cinema, originally made for performance, were re-worked for the gallery.
Thanks to Lynn Loo for her support and to David Leister for looper equipment.
