Resurfacing from lockdown
Resurfacing from being caught in a rip
Resurfacing of a long lost character
She swims across the textures of Collingwood Yards, and plays amongst the paving stones.
We were invited to participate in a one night site responsive projection event, A Strange Space curated by Edwina Bartlem and Jacob Tolo and presented by the Centre For Projection Art.
We spent the day scanning our cameras over the surfaces of Collingwood Yards, creating a stop-motion textural study of the site. We edited, composited and projected these animations on the exterior walls, an animated overlay.
A long lost animation puppet resurfaced in our studio in the lead up to the one night projection event A Strange Space at Collingwood Yards. She had been lost for years, deteriorating at the bottom of a box.
She was not in good condition but she seemed to sum up how we felt at the time, travelling through life in the pandemic.
We brought her out for an evening of animation, a swan song, moving in slow motion in front of a live audience.
